An open house is being held tomorrow (May 9) evening in Okotoks to give the public a glimpse at what a proposed racquet centre will look like.
The open house and fundraising campaign kick-off for the Okotoks Pickleball and Tennis Centre will be held at the Foothills Centennial Centre from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Okotoks Pickleball and Tennis Centre director Greg Auld said plans for the building include over a dozen indoor courts and a similar number of outdoor courts.
“It's going to be probably one of a kind, at least in Western Canada, if not all of Canada,” he said
The racquet centre will be operated as a non-profit, funded through grants and donations, and will be built near 32 Street in north Okotoks.
Information about the new facility, including location, timelines and progress to date, will be available at the open house.
The project budget is approximately $10 million, about $6 million of which needs to be raised.
People are asked to register for the open house in advance at [email protected].
