When ever I/we go walking through that park the courts are almost always in use. Also tennis is a growing sport in Canada and does not cost a fortune to play. This makes it a sport anyone can take part in. I sincerely hope you will reconsider and include these courts into the new redevelopment plan for the park which I think is great but never did we realise that it meant the tennis courts were going to be removed. Please reconsider and include these tennis courts in your otherwise great plan. They provide a great and inexpensive place to exercise in a place that is comfortable and available to all age groups.
Sincerely,
Christine Broyden

I would like to know how that fairly small space nestled in the corner could be better used. Tennis is a great outdoor activity that just a couple of people can do together and through my many trips to the park have never seen the park so populated that that small area is really needed... If there is a plan for new tennis courts, then why not wait until they are up?
