What’s My Rating?
One of the biggest question players have (or argue with other players about!) is their Rating. You have probably heard, ‘I’m a 4.5’ or ‘You’re not a 4.5!’, around your local pickleball court.
The truth is, pickleball has a player rating system and it does follow some guidelines, but overall it can be a bit subjective.

What is the maximum size of a pickleball paddle?

KERRY PARK INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT 2021 CONCEPT PLAN
Kerry Park Recreation Centre has published a Concept Plan related to the six new courts planned in the field behind the curling/skating rinks. The Concept has been developed with the input from the SCPC, and we believe represents the best practices gathered from other court developments. We would welcome any comments on this plan. The plan can be viewed here....
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.
