    Where will pickleball courts be? We need PICKLEBALL COURTS!

    Fedzmom asked almost 2 years ago

    Thank you so much for participating in the Larter Street Park Survey!!

    We understand the excitement around pickleball! However, location matters and the Town takes this into consideration when reviewing options and locations for the sport. Larter Street park is in very close proximity to homes, which means the sport's louder noise—due to the paddle and ball—will likely disturb residents. 

    • Noise Impact: The "pop" of the pickleball is louder than other sports, affecting quiet neighborhoods.
    • Cost Constraints: We simply can't afford the adding additional expensive noise barriers with our already limited funds.

    Evaluation Process: We're carefully reviewing potential sites to ensure they meet community and player needs without disturbing nearby homes and are currently working on the design for the addition of pickleball courts to the Cookstown Community Park, to be completed fall 2025- Cookstown Community Park - Town of Innisfil
