SPRING = The start of Pickleball of course! This is just a quick notice to let everyone know that the pickleball nets have been put out in the large metal storage boxes at the Tennis Court beside the St. Jacobs arena and at Valleyview Park. We have fantastic new signage (thanks to St. Jacobs Printery) with all the information about reserving equipment. Happy playing!

A big THANKS to all of the families who came out and to all of the wonderful volunteers who came together to make the event happen despite challenging conditions.
