Posted: May 3, 2024 9:20AMNorth Saanich council has voted to permanently close the pickleball courts at Wain Park, largely due to noise concerns.
The motion to close the courts was written and put forward to the council by Mayor Peter Jones earlier this week.“What really brought it forward was on Sunday night, when the courts were supposed to be closed either at 4 or 4:45 p.m. I heard that they were still playing and I drove by there at 8 o’clock and they were still playing, and they wouldn’t leave the courts,” Jones told CHEK News on Thursday.
