Pickleball Will Prevail at Skaha Lake Park in Penticton, Despite Squabble

MARTINEZ, CALIFORNIA, JUL 16 – Residents report increased noise from renovated courts doubling player numbers since February, prompting a 90-day trial and city evaluation after September, officials said.

  • Concerns over noise and parking did not stop the installation of four new pickleball courts at Skaha Lake Park in Penticton, supported by a petition with hundreds of signatures.
  • John Archer, former chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee, opposed the project during a council meeting on July 15, but his efforts failed.
  • The project is funded by a $100,000 contribution from the Penticton Pickleball Club and a $170,000 provincial grant, and it will replace one tennis court with the new facilities.
  • Completion of the pickleball courts is expected by Labour Day weekend, along with upgrades to two tennis courts.
