The Town of Shelburne will be marking the officially opening of the first outdoor tennis and pickleball courts this Friday (Sept. 9).

A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled to take place from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at KTH Park, located at 197 Homestead Dr. Community members are invited to join in the celebration of outdoor multi-use courts opening.

“The tennis and pickleball courts will be a great addition to the Town’s recreation asset management portfolio and will provide another avenue for outdoor play,” said the town in a press release for the ribbon cutting ceremony.

In October 2019 a report regarding council’s strategic priorities highlighted the tennis and pickleball courts as a critical infrastructure investment. The Town noted that the multi-use courts specifically addressed their goals targets to improve parks and recreation services and improve community connections.

Construction for the tennis and pickleball courts began the week of July 18 with the preparing of the base of the courts, and was scheduled to be completed by August 27.

The Town’s first outdoor tennis and pickleball courts are located at KTH Park, behind the existing washroom facility. The two courts are approximately 108 feet by 120 feet in size, with an asphalt base, painted lines for both sports to be played, and a perimeter fence installed.
