CKE INDOOR PICKLEBALL PROGRAM

The Indoor Pickleball Program is recreational and intended for CKE pickleball players of all skill levels.  We have limited indoor capacity and the program is for CKE Residents only.  Current CKE Community Membership is required. The program runs from October to May and we play Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Please see Communal – Programs and Events for more details and current registration information.

$5 drop in on Thursdays. Max 7 people plus organizer and you’ll have to register each week you want to attend. CKE Membership required.

All ages and skill levels welcome! Please bring your own paddle.

Game time and format will vary on the number of players as there is only one court.

Registration opens each Sunday at 8:00AM

Signup here or login to your CKE Membership.

Join us on the 4th Thursday of the month at 10:30 at the CKE hall for a Senior’s Tea and Coffee social! Refreshments are provided.

CKE has some of the best courts in the city. There were refinished in 2021 and we want you to come out and play!

At this time we do not allow bookings or rentals of the Courts by CKE residents or anyone else. The 3 exceptions are: the schools in CKE neighbourhoods may rent the Courts, we book the Courts off for group lessons, and we book the Courts off for the CKE Pickleball Drop-In Program & related events.

The CKE Community Garden is a wonderful asset to the Community, providing rich, diverse green space next to the Community Hall. The CKE Community Garden rents out half beds (4’ x 4’) to members of the community for $35 per year + a current community membership. Fees charged go back into the garden to be used for supplies, plants, and hosting educational events. If you are interested in renting a plot for spring 2022, or just want to get involved, please send a note to the Sonja Johnson at sonja_johnson20@hotmail.com.

The CKE Skatespot offers a safe and active social space for people of all ages to connect with others, exercise in, and practice their skill! Obstacles include a quarter pipe, curved ledge, ledge/manny pad with wedge, flatbar with landscape flat gap, bank, and a flat ledge.

To help keep the park safe and clean, a locked supply box equipped with cleaning and maintenance supplies is located at the park. This initiative relies on “key holders” from the skate community to help keep the park clean and free of debris. If you are interested in being a key holder, please contact Calgary Association of Skateboarding Enthusiasts (CASE) – chair@calgaryskateboarding.com.

This park is owned and operated by The City of Calgary. Please contact the City of Calgary at 3-1-1 with any issues, concerns, or questions.
