Welcome to the South Frontenac Community Courts
Recognizing the surge in popularity for court sports in recent years, the Township of South Frontenac has been proactively improving our facilities and services to meet the needs of our residents and visitors. This web page has a wealth of information for our court users, including court locations and descriptions, drop-in hours and procedures, and how to book the courts for exclusive use.
Please note - The courts are scheduled to be closed for the 2023 season on October 31st. They will reopen in the spring when weather permits.

Drop-in schedule & facility booking/ exclusive use availability
|
Drop-in schedule - Centennial Park & Gerald Ball Memorial Park only
- Every Monday – Friday from 3:00 pm – 9:00 pm AND every Saturday & Sunday from 8:00 am – 9:00 pm the combination courts (tennis and pickleball courts 5 & 6) are unavailable to book and are for drop-in use/ casual play only.
- Any time that the courts are not booked for exclusive use by User Groups, the courts are available to all for free drop-in/ casual use.
- Any time outside the above specified hours, all six pickleball courts and the tennis court may be booked for exclusive use by User Groups or used for drop-in play if not already booked. Should players arrive for drop-in/ casual play during a time in which all the courts are booked, they are required to wait to play until the booking has expired. Booked/ reserved court time takes precedent over any drop-in activities in progress.
- During the above specified drop-in hours, if all courts are in use and other casual/ drop-in players arrive to the facility, the drop-in courts must be rotated between drop-in users every 45 minutes.
-
The 45-minute rotation time starts as soon as there is a queue for court time, not from when the first group started play.
-
Newly arrived players will indicate their name and what time they arrived on the Drop-In Sign-Up board located with the communication board. They will indicate to the current players they have joined the queue and the 45-minute time limit will start. The newly arrived players must be ready for play when their time starts.
-
Should further Drop-In players arrive, they will add their name and what time they arrived in the next slot available on the Drop-In Sign-Up board.
-
So long as there is a waiting list for the Drop-In courts, players will rotate and share the courts at least every 45 minutes (for example, if Group A is playing when Group B arrives at 10:00 am to play, Group A is permitted to play until 10:45 am then will vacate for Group B. If Group C arrives while Group B is waiting, they will add their name to the Drop-In Sign-Up board and will get on the courts no later than 11:30 am after Group B gets 45 minutes of court time).
-
So long as there is a waiting list for the Drop-In courts, players/ groups are not permitted to sign-up for more than one slot in a row (no ‘stacking’ times). The courts must be shared at least every 45 minutes with every drop-in group in queue for court time.
