“The Whitetooth Legacy Racquet Courts are a great example of how community groups and local government can come together to enhance Golden’s recreation facilities, creating more opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to be active and enjoy time together outdoors,” said Mayor Ron Oszust, Town of Golden.
The Whitetooth Legacy Racquet Courts feature two tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a basketball hoop and a practice wall, providing opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to stay active, connect and enjoy the outdoors.
“This project reflects the strong partnership between Golden and Area A and a shared commitment to providing accessible recreation spaces that bring people together and support healthy, active lifestyles,” said Columbia Shuswap Regional District Electoral Area A Director Karen Cathcart.
This project was made possible through support from the Whitetooth Ski Hill Legacy Fund, the Golden Pickleball Club, and Columbia Basin Trust.
