The Outdoor Basketball Courts project builds on the City’s long-term vision to enhance recreation opportunities across Yorkton. Originally planned as part of the Columbia Park Development, the project has evolved to focus specifically on the construction of new outdoor basketball courts. Following detailed design work and further assessment, it was determined that drainage challenges make Columbia Park an unsuitable location for development at this time. As a result, the approved project funding will be redirected to construct two new dual-court basketball facilities in other existing park spaces throughout the city. Community input will help guide the selection of these locations in early 2026, with tendering and construction planned to follow later in the year.
