Heritage Heights Pickleball Court Expansion

In 2022, Yorkton City Council approved the resurfacing of the existing tennis courts at Heritage Heights Park and the expansion of the site to include additional dedicated pickleball courts.

The current asphalt court surface at Heritage Heights Park is over 20 years old and has significantly deteriorated. Cracking, surface unevenness, and general wear have made the courts less safe and increasingly unsuitable for regular play. Resurfacing is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all users.

Pickleball has seen a major surge in popularity within the recreation sector. The current supply of outdoor pickleball courts, two at Knights of Columbus Park and two at Heritage Heights Park, are multi-purpose and shared with tennis. As community interest continues to grow, these facilities are no longer adequate to meet the needs of players and programming.

This expansion will improve the overall user experience, reduce scheduling conflicts, and support a wide range of recreational opportunities including:

  • Drop-in play

  • Club activities

  • Community programming

  • Local tournaments

The Heritage Heights Pickleball Court Expansion will:

  • Resurface the existing tennis courts: Restore the aging asphalt base to provide a safe, level, and durable playing surface.

  • Expand the court area: Add dedicated outdoor Pickleball courts to accommodate growing community demand.

  • Paving Underway

    Exciting progress is being made at the Heritage Heights Pickleball Expansion site!

    Paving work is now officially underway. Crews have begun laying the base asphalt layer across both the existing and newly built-up areas.

    Weather permitting, paving will continue over the coming days, bringing us one step closer to a more accessible pickleball space for our community.

  • Proof Roll and North Side Build-Up

    Proof Roll on Existing Asphalt
    Over the past week, crews completed a proof roll on the existing asphalt surface to assess its structural integrity and suitability for reuse. This process involved running heavy equipment over the area to identify any weak or soft spots. The results were encouraging and will help guide the next steps in surface preparation.

    North Side Build-Up Underway
    Significant progress has also been made on the north side of the development, where crews are actively working to build up the subgrade in preparation for future paving.



  • North Side Build-Up Underway

    Progress continues on the Heritage Heights Pickleball Court Expansion project. Crews are currently focused on the build-up and compaction work on the north side of the facility. This phase involves preparing a stable foundation to support the future courts and ensure long-term durability and safety..


  • Demo and Removal of Current Asphalt Surface

    The original acrylic surface has been removed, and earthwork is currently in progress to prepare the site for the paving of 3 pickleball courts.


  • Fence Removal

    Fence removal is now underway at the Heritage Heights Pickleball site. This is an essential step to allow for the build-up and compaction of the north side of the facility as part of the planned expansion.


  • Light Pole Removal

    As part of the ongoing improvements, existing light poles have been removed to allow for the safe removal of fencing currently in place. These steps are being taken in preparation for the arrival of heavy equipment, which will begin the next phase of work: asphalt removal and north side compaction and build-up.
