Outdoor pickleball court changes at Brant Hills and Ireland Parks

The City of Burlington will be adding additional outdoor pickleball lines to two courts in Ireland Park (2315 Headon Forest Dr.) tennis facility, resulting in four pickleball courts available for play at Ireland Park. The City will also be removing the pickleball lines at Brant Hills due to their close location to neighbouring homes to address on-going noise concerns. The courts at Brant Hills will be converted back to tennis-only.

To make these changes, courts at Ireland and Brant Hills Parks will be closed for use from Aug. 29 until Sept. 2, weather permitting. Signs will be posted and gates will be locked until the paint has dried enough for use. If there is a change in the schedule, updates will be posted online and through social media.

Residents wanting to play can still use other outdoor courts, indoor courts, and our book-a-court, as usual.

Outdoor Pickleball Courts

• Bolus Garden Parkette: two lined courts within the ball hockey area that are open from spring to fall. You must bring your own pickleball nets.
• Ireland Park: four lined courts within tennis courts available from spring to fall (closed Aug. 29 to Sept. 2 for repainting).

Quotes

Denise Beard, Manager of Community Development

“If the weather cooperates, the work to repaint the lines on the courts should happen quickly and the disruption will be minimal. In the meantime, there are lots of other pickleball options available.”
