Fall 2025 Update
The City of Richmond Hill is holding public consultation meetings on October 2 and October 16. These meetings will help determine the future of pickleball in our city.
Richmond Hill needs a clear, forward-looking pickleball strategy — one that recognizes the vital role community clubs play in introducing new players to the game, providing programs and lessons to meet the needs of all players and those who will soon discover the game.
