The 2024 Regional Pickleball Strategy concluded that Tolmie Park cannot meet recommended acoustic conditions for pickleball and recommended converting the courts to another use. This followed advice to Council in 2022 and 2023 that the preferred long-term approach at Tolmie Park was to close and repurpose the pickleball courts, after a number of attempts at sound mitigation including sound panels and reduced hours of play.The closure coincides with the expansion of dedicated pickleball facilities in Saanich and Victoria. Victoria’s Topaz Park opened 11 pickleball courts in spring 2026, and Saanich opened six new pickleball courts in Fowler Park on September 15, 2026. Neighbourhood consultation will take place in the coming months to help identify appropriate future uses for the court surface.

Please enjoy our parks and trails while providing personal space to other park guests and respecting peoples' personal choices.
Hosting an event outdoors in a park? Apply for a Park permit for use of any sports field or priority use of picnic tables.
Wanting to bring your class for a field trip in a park? Apply for a Park permit so that we can ensure that there are no conflicting activities already booked.
If you pack it in, pack it out! Anything you bring to a park should go home with you. Please never leave trash, food containers, animal waste or other items.
Wanting to bring a group of five or more people to volunteer in a Saanich Park? Fill out our Saanich Parks Stewardship Group Activity Request Form. Please note: activites for large groups of 20 or more take place from September to March to avoid potential disturbance to nesting birds from April to August.
