Delhi Park Pickleball Courts
The County of Prince Edward together with the Prince Edward Pickleball Committee are developing six pickleball courts in Delhi Park, a central green space in Picton. The courts will be located on a former baseball diamond, which has fallen out of use in recent years.
Project Overview
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.
Any additional funds required for the project will be funded through donations and grants.
Project Status
The municipality is finalizing the designs for the project. The design was shared with the public at an information centre on Monday, July 20, 2026.
The information boards are now on display at the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street) until Tuesday, July 28.
