Our Quest for Dedicated Outdoor Courts in Grey Highlands
One of the goals of the Pickleball Club of Grey Highlands (PGH) is to promote the development of dedicated pickleball courts in Grey Highlands. To that end PGH has made two delegations to the Municipality of Grey Highlands Council. The latest presentation in May 2024 proposed a facility with 4 courts located on a site adjacent to the Flesherton Arena.
In December of 2024 the Municipal Council approved in principle the Club's proposal for four, outdoor pickleball courts on vacant land just south of Flesherton Arena. These courts are now 90% complete with the plan to colour-coat and line them in the spring of 2027. They will be public courts for the residents of Grey Highlands and visitors to the area, as well as the Club.
The Club's fundraising efforts were rewarded with major $10K sponsorships from both Fleshcon and Capstone as well as substantial contributions from Fawcett Funeral Home, Porteous Russell Real Estate, the Centre for Mind/Body Health, Wilton Sanitation, Nixon Electric, Colton's Garage and Bernard's Quality Cars & Service, as well as a lovely bunch of individual contributors ultimately raising $76,400. Shazam!
