New recreation Park for Glenmore

[VHardy]

Does anyone know if the sports courts will be pickleball or tennis?
I'd be really excited if it were pickleball:-)

The only thing I'd like to see added to the plan (and I know its not cheap to build or maintain) is to have a proper fieldhouse with change facilities, showers, and a place to store field dressing (cones, markers, nets, etc). The artificial turf facility in the Mission is embarrassing. Teams bring in a bus full of kids for a competitive sporting event and there is no place for them to change or shower after the game. Teams are literally getting changed on the bus. The storage situation is a sea can.

The city plan calls for a "future fieldhouse" but, to me, it should be part of the day-1 plan and if the city needs to go to the private sector and sell naming rights on the thing to get it built then I say do it. It will only add to the utility of the facilities.

Great Idea. But building it on provincial ARL is going cost us a lot. Some of the conditions we have to meet is to remediate the baseball diamonds on 500 Valley road back to agricultural land and find a new home for the Glenmore firehouse so it's land can be given back to the ALC. http://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/ ... 52f16.html

I just hope this time they make a park that will be up to standards so it will not be a land bargaining tool for kelowna's next bigger park.
