Miltonvale Park passed a Pickleball Policy in late 2025.
The policy hopes to provide fair and organized access to the pickleball courts located at Milton Community Park, ensuring that courts are available for both casual users and organized play.
If courts are not reserved, court use is limited to 1 hour per group, if others are waiting.
Reservations:
o The Miltonvale Pickleball Club has the ability to reserve time slots in advance for group play, and to require that those who play at that time pay a fee to the Club, and belong to Pickleball Canada.
o Outside of the hours booked by the Miltonvale Pickleball Club (see below), individuals can reserve time slots for play. These bookings will be made for individuals no more than three days in advance, and for not more than two hours in length.
o Bookings for recognized groups can be made three weeks in advance,and would not ordinarily be for more than four hours in length.
