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. The policy mentions pre-booking the courts, and while we are still organizing a system for that, for now, you can email miltonvalepark.staff@gmail.com. Read the policy here: https://miltonvalepark.com/miltonvale-park-pickleball-policy/
