The County of Prince Edward will host an in-person public information centre (PIC) for the proposed pickleball courts in Picton on Monday, July 20 from 4:30 – 6 pm.
The PIC will occur in Delhi Park near the location of the proposed courts. Attendees will have the chance to review the draft plans and ask questions about the project.
If you are unable to attend in-person on July 20, you can view the draft plans at the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street) after the meeting. The municipality will also post the draft plans online.
In 2022, County Council passed a motion to enter into a partnership agreement with the Prince Edward County Pickleball Committee. The motion also approved making the pickleball courts a project of community interest.
In 2024, County Council passed a motion confirming Delhi Park as the site for the proposed pickleball courts. In that motion, Council directed staff to continue working with the Prince Edward County Pickleball Committee on the orientation, design, communication, budget for the proposed courts.
The Prince Edward County Pickleball Committee has committed to raising $266,500 of the $400,000 required for this project. The remaining funds will come from the Parkland Reserve Fund, a municipal reserve fund generated by developers who pay cash in lieu of dedicating actual land for public parks in their new developments.
