What are the Outdoor Season Pass & Daily fees for 2025?
Thank you for your interest in joining MPC. The response from members has been huge. Since we only have 8 courts, we have had to put limits on registration to provide members with reasonable playing times. We are currently sold out with a waiting list. W
The MPC Board approved a tiered pricing model and a modest fee increase for outdoor play in 2025. Due to our club's success, we are now required to collect HST on all sales, except for our basic membership. The fees also include third-party processing charges.

Supporting Our Pickleball Community
MPC is a not-for-profit organization, and all fees help cover both short-term and long-term club expenses. While the courts will remain open for free public play for approximately 8 hours per day, we believe the value of MPC membership, community engagement, and exclusive benefits makes your investment worthwhile.
-----
Outside of MPC, play is still possible! The Cornell Park courts are available to everyone, including members, during public hours. There are also tennis courts across the City that have been lined for pickleball. Information is available on the City of Markham website.
