SYLVAN LAKE â As a small, outdoor community, recreation is a big deal in Sylvan Lake. A decision to make one of the two tennis courts at the Sylvan Lake Community Center into four pickleball courts has gotten the attention of some residents. âThereâs residents who are extremely happy about that, and then some that are a little bummed â the tennis players donât like losing a court,â Sylvan Lake City Council member and former Mayor Ben Clarke said. âThe pickleball players have been organizing like crazy. They have a group of about 60 people in the neighborhood that play, and they need more court time, so weâre going to have four permanent courts for pickleball. So thatâs kind of a big deal, I guess.â Clarke said pickleball is âextremely popular.â The plan is to find a way to satisfy both tennis and pickleball players.
