Boisbriand residents now have six new courts on which to enjoy one of North America’s fastest-growing recreational sports, following the completion of summer improvements at Pellerin Park.
The City of Boisbriand has officially announced the opening of the six pickleball courts, which are available to the public without a reservation. The new facilities were developed as part of the municipality’s 2025-2035 Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan.
Work at the park also included the modernization of its tennis facilities. The number of tennis courts was reduced from four to two to accommodate the new pickleball courts, leaving residents with dedicated spaces for both sports.
Mayor Christine Beaudette said the project reflects the municipality’s effort to respond to changing recreational interests while continuing to provide residents with high-quality public facilities.
“These new courts respond to growing interest in pickleball and demonstrate our determination to offer quality facilities to residents,” Beaudette said.
She credited the City’s recreation department with leading the project and adapting Boisbriand’s recreational offering to new trends and residents’ expectations.
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. Its smaller court and generally slower pace can make the sport approachable for beginners, while experienced players can develop a fast and highly competitive style of play. Its popularity has also made access to suitable courts an increasingly important consideration for municipalities planning recreational infrastructure.
At Pellerin Park, the six new courts and two updated tennis courts form part of a broader range of amenities that includes a swimming pool, splash pad, soccer field, playgrounds, skating rinks and other recreational equipment.
The pickleball and tennis courts are open for free public use every day from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., from May through October. Municipal park regulations and posted instructions remain in effect.
