City of Chilliwack exploring construction of pickleball facility next to Rotary building on Wolfe Road near Townsend Park
CHILLIWACK — To satisfy the growing demand for a facility given the city’s rapid population growth and surging interest in the sport, the City of Chilliwack will be looking to build a pickleball facility at some point in the future.
The request for proposals (RFP) period lasted from July 7 until August 3, and city staff are currently reviewing qualified bids from proponents. A contract has not been awarded yet.
The facility will be located adjacent to the existing Rotary of Chilliwack book building adjacent to the Townsend Park gravel parking lot, according to tender and bid information on the City’s website.
The proposed facility will cover the northern section of two city properties at 44920 and 44880 Wolfe Road. City staff have allocated $270,000 to cover the supply, delivery, and installation of the Chilliwack Pickleball Facility, which will adhere to standards set forth by Pickleball Canada.
