EXCITING NEWS!
The CVRD has been awarded a Provincial Grant for an Outdoor Pickleball Complex at Kerry Park. The preliminary plan is to have a gravel parking lot for approximately 30 cars, 6 pickleball courts, a picnic area, a walking trail around the perimeter of the complex and a small 2 stall washroom/change area.
Work is already underway to get geo-tech and surveying done within the next several weeks and then design work completed early spring to allow a tender package out by June.
Updated design work will be presented at the next Kerry Park Recreation Commission meeting scheduled for March 23rd.
Note that one of the requirements of the Grant recipients is that construction begins in 2021!!
We are extremely appreciative of all the support the the SCPC received from numerous folks at the CVRD. Although we don't know everyone who had input into this initiative we would like to recognize the members of the Kerry Park Recreation Commission and Kim Liddle, Manager of the Kerry Park site for the time and effort they put in to making this happen.
