The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) is reopening the upgraded sports court at Pioneer Park in Kaleden (Electoral Area “I”). The court will officially open for public use on Monday, July 21, 2025.

The tennis court and two pickleball courts will be available for online booking at rdos.perfectmind.com. To celebrate the reopening, court bookings will be free of charge until fall 2025.

Wi-Fi-operated locks will be installed on the gates to help manage court use.

Site upgrades were completed by Orca Asphalt Maintenance and include:

• Crack repairs and resurfacing of the court playing surface

• Interior fencing to separate the courts
• A third access gate added to the exterior fence

“The Kaleden Parks & Recreation Commission and the RDOS are excited to welcome residents and visitors back to the courts at Pioneer Park,” said Director Monteith, Electoral Area “I” director. “These improvements reflect a commitment to enhancing recreational opportunities in Kaleden, and I appreciate the community’s patience during the upgrade process.”
