This winter city tennis and pickleball players could be enjoying their passion indoors.
City council Monday gave the go-ahead to staff to pursue a lease agreement with a third-party operator to construct and maintain an air-supported dome over the existing courts at Pinafore Park.
A report to council advised, staff have interviewed three other municipalities and tennis clubs that have entered into similar lease agreements. All have reported the agreements and dealings with the leaseholders have been positive.
Coun. Steve Peters was the lone voice of opposition noting individuals would play for free half the year and then be forced to pay over the winter.
