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.

Pay Pickleball Court Access Fee Here!
Hello tennis and pickle ball enthusiasts!! I’m sure you all were as excited as I was to learn that we can return to the courts!
Access Fees:
CKE is putting a combination lock on the gate so you’ll need to pay an access fee of $30/adult to get the code to use the court. Other communities charge more to access their courts, but we’ve decided to keep the fee low so the courts are accessible to all families. If you’re in a position to pay a bit more, we’d be most appreciative but there’s absolutely no pressure of course.

Resurfacing Project:
We were scheduled to have our courts resurfaced this spring/summer but I’m sad to report it doesn’t look we can pull it off this year. A group of us have been fundraising tirelessly for the last two years including the submission of 4 grant applications. The city had approved a grant to cover 75% of the total cost ($189K) which was a huge win for us but because of lost revenue to our community due to COVID restrictions, we fall a bit short of our target.
Group lessons (this may change later in the summer) can’t be offered at this time but coach Jelena will be offering private tennis lessons:
Lesson Fees:
$50/hour for one person
$60/hour for 2-6 people (from same household).
If these costs are prohibitive to you, please contact me.
Please contact her directly to arrange:

Registration is coming for the 2020 season.
Online registration will be from March 1st to March 31st.
Spring time in Calgary brings bright sunshine, clear blue skies, and lots of little legs kicking soccer balls across our green fields! Join spring soccer so your kids stay active and make friends all at the same time!
Heritage Soccer is a recreational soccer league for children aged 3 to 12 from the communities of CKE, Haysboro, Kingsland, Fairview, Mayfair, Bel Aire and Meadowlark Park.
Note: You must have a current community membership to register your kids.
The CKE Skate spot offers a safe and active social space for guys and gals 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.
Did you know there are four – yes 4 – playgrounds in the CKE Community? Check them out!
1. Chinook Park School: 1312 – 75th Avenue
2. Kelvin Grove: 1020 – 73rd Avenue
3. Chinook Park: 8039 Churchill Drive
4. Eagle Ridge: 100 Eagle Ridge Place
Each playground offers safe and accessible fun with great equipment for kids of all ages. All playgrounds have surrounding green space making them popular hubs in our walk-able community. Whether it’s your destination or an impromptu break, stop by for some activity and you’ll likely make some new friends while you’re there.
Let’s go for a Skate! During regular winters there are two ice rinks safely maintained in CKE!
Thanks to keen Rink Rats, there is also a staking rink on Colleen Crescent in Chinook Park – thanks to all the local volunteers that maintain this rink for all to enjoy!
Hours: Sunrise – 9pm or when the lights go out each evening
Rules & Expectations:
Get Gardening this Spring!
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 2020, or just want to get involved, please send a note to the contact person below.
March 2020
The CKE Community Garden hosted a very successful movie night in February, attended by close to 20 people. The movie – Can You Dig This – was very well received, and is highly recommended for anyone interested in community development, community gardens, or just the power of planting and growing food. The film is available for viewing on Amazon Prime.
Plans are in the works for our garden rebuild this spring as we finalize the budget, hire a landscape contractor for the heavier work, and source out supplies. With those in place we will plan for tasks that can be carried out on a Community work day. Ideally all this will happen before the May Long Weekend so that planting in the raised beds can happen shortly afterwards. Stay tuned for more information on work dates, workshops and events related to the Garden.
