Norm Jary Park basketball complex

The old tennis and basketball courts are being replaced in summer 2021 with a basketball complex featuring three practise basketball courts and two full-size basketball courts.

The new basketball court features:

  • Two full-size basketball courts.
  • Three practise courts.
  • Seating.
  • Improved pedestrian connections.
  • Landscaping.

A full size basketball court was built in Norm Jary Park in 1997 at the request of the neighbourhood. Since then, use of the courts has reached community capacity. In contrast, the tennis courts are rarely used and have been closed the last two years due to aging surfacing. The City has recently invested in tennis courts at nearby Margaret Greene Park. With improvements to other tennis locations and a demonstrated need for basketball expansion, we will be replacing the tennis and basketball courts with a new basketball complex.
