The Prince George Tennis and Pickleball Club offers six tennis and six pickleball courts available for both members and drop-in players.
In 2022, the Prince George Tennis club noticed the six tennis courts were displaying significant signs of deterioration including cracking, bubbling and small holes on the playing surfaces.
To ensure the courts remained viable, the Prince George Tennis Club applied for a $40,721 Recreation Infrastructure grant in order to resurface the six tennis courts.
The courts had not been resurfaced for approximately six to eight years and the flaws impacted the safety of users and the overall playing quality for members and competitors.
The newly resurfaced courts provide a safer, more enjoyable experience for all players and with regular maintenance and cleaning, will last several years into the future.
The Recreation Infrastructure program supports community efforts to create and support recreational infrastructure, such as arenas, gymnasiums, golf courses, fields, boat launches and others, to encourage resident attraction and retention while also increasing opportunities for sport tourism. This program is set up to support new construction projects or upgrades and repairs to existing facilities.
