John N. Allan Park Dome Pilot
The Tennis Clubs of Canada has submitted a proposal to the City to extend the dome at John N. Allan Park (6980 Kalar Road) to be kept up throughout the entire year as a one-year pilot project. Currently, the agreement with the Tennis Clubs of Canada requires the dome to be up from October to May each year and removed during the summer months.
An engagement for the initial seasonal pilot project was held in 2023.
Key points of the proposal:
- The dome to remain in place during the summer of 2024.
- The dome will be air-conditioned.
- The indoor climate-controlled facility provides an option for play, rain or shine, and extends the usable court hours, given that there are currently no lights for outdoor play.
- There are no court fees during summer for members; membership fees only.
- The Tennis Clubs of Canada would continue to pay revenues to the City during the summer months.
- Users can reserve courts online during community hours to guarantee court time, eliminating wait times and conflict.
- Free community use will be available.
Update
Council approved a proposal to the City to extend the dome at John N. Allan Park to be kept up throughout the entire year as a one-year pilot project.
Council authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the revised license agreement with the Tennis Clubs of Canada to permit year-round indoor tennis and pickleball for one year at John N. Allan Park.
