The City of St. Catharines is looking for some provincial help to build pickleball courts.
A staff report is recommending the city build eight new dedicated courts at Burgoyne Woods.
Councillors have approved the location and are now hoping to secure some provincial money through the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund
The fund grants up to 50% funding to municipalities looking to extend the lifespan of existing facilities or improve facilities to meet a community need.
The pickleball project would cost roughly $900,000.
If approved the project could be built by 2026.

The aging baseball facility in Merriton has a number of issues including drainage that has cut down its usage.
