CKE Community Activities

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.

CKE Courts Access

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

The CKE Indoor Pickleball Program will be starting soon! The program runs from October through to May. The Indoor Pickleball Program is for CKE pickleball players of all skill levels and is intended to be recreational, otherwise known as ‘social play’. We have limited indoor capacity and the Indoor Pickleball Program is for CKE Residents only. Current CKE Community Membership is required.

The first session runs Monday October 2 to Friday December 29,, 2023. Please note, if the conditions are still good, we will likely continue playing outdoors until the snow flies!

Program Times

• Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings with two sessions each day: 9:00 – 10:30 am and 10:30 am – 12:00 pm.
• Each session is limited to 6 participants.
• Weekly sign-ups are facilitated through SignUpGenius.
• Participation in a WhatsApp Group Chat is encouraged to communicate with other members in the Program.

If registration numbers warrant it, we will arrange additional sessions from 12:00 – 1:30 pm on Mondays and/or Wednesdays.

Program Fees – October to December Session

• To play 1 session/week $60
• To play 2 sessions/week $120

We have limited space to register as an Alternate. Alternates may sign-up to play once a week only after regular players have signed-up and if spaces remain on the schedule. Cost is $30.

We encourage participants to be realistic about how often they can commit to playing during the week.

Registration

To register, email Jen at ckecourts@gmail.com and indicate if you would like to play 1 or 2 sessions/week or if you would like to sign up as an Alternate. Jen will confirm space is available and then ask you to e-transfer the appropriate program fee.

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.
