WEYBURN – The City of Weyburn is excited to announce a new partnership with Pickleball Weyburn, to add four pickleball courts at the outdoor rink behind the Credit Union Spark Center. This collaboration, achieved at no cost to the city, will provide a permanent space for pickleball enthusiasts to enjoy the sport and help foster its growth in the community.
“We are thrilled to support Pickleball Weyburn in establishing these courts. This partnership not only provides a fantastic recreational opportunity for our residents but also demonstrates the power of community collaboration. We look forward to seeing the sport of pickleball grow in Weyburn,” said Leisure Director, Andrew Crowe.
Pickleball Weyburn raised the necessary funds to create 4 pickleball courts using high-quality sport court paint and seasonal affixed nets. This initiative ensures Weyburn residents have access to well-maintained courts throughout the summer months.
“We are incredibly proud to have created a permanent home for pickleball in Weyburn. This project is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm of our members and the support of our community. We hope this encourages more people to take up the sport recreationally or competitively in Weyburn,” said Bob Maurer.
To celebrate the opening of the new courts, a grand opening event will be held on July 31 at 6pm. The event will include a community BBQ, with all proceeds going back into Pickleball Weyburn. and an opportunity for community members to try out the new pickleball court. Paddles and balls will be available, bring your running shoes!
