CKE Community Activities

2022 Pickleball Season

This action-packed sport combines elements of badminton, tennis and ping-pong. Players will use solid paddles and a wiffle-like ball, while playing on a badminton-sized court. It is a low-impact, high energy sport and the rules are very easy to learn.

 Indoor Pickleball Program

We play in the CKE Gym and have one court.  Sessions are Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings with two time slots per morning.  Registration is limited to 18 participants.  Cost is $120 for the 3 month session.

January – March 2022 SESSION FULL

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.
