Recreation Facility Update

Spring is Here!  I sure hope I am not being too bold 

As the season finally shifts and we (reluctantly) tuck away our winter gear, excitement is building for tennis, pickleball, and all the great activities our neighbourhood offers. It’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the space we share.
 
Tennis Courts

The tennis courts are now open for the season. You may have heard about the upcoming gate locks that will help ensure Discovery Ridge members can access the courts when they want to play. Here’s what to expect:

  • plenty of notice before the locks go into effect
  • clear instructions on how to find your unique access code
  • a smooth transition designed to keep play time easy and accessible

Pickleball & More

Pickleball nets will be installed as soon as time allows. A quick reminder that our recreation facility is maintained entirely by volunteers — your neighbours — and we truly appreciate your patience as we get everything ready for spring.

So dig out those rackets and paddles. Fun games are just around the corner.

It’s National Volunteer Appreciation Week

This is the perfect time to recognize and thank the incredible volunteers in Discovery Ridge who help make our community such a special place. Your generosity—through your time, energy, and expertise—truly makes a difference. Strong, vibrant communities are built by people like you.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” ~ Elizabeth Andrew

From lending a hand at the bottle shack, supporting the rink crew, and working casino shifts, to volunteering at events like the Stampede RoundUp and Music in the Park—your contributions are everywhere. Whether you serve on the DRCA Board, join committees, or help keep everyone informed through the website, Ridge Review, MailChimp, and social media, your efforts do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do!
