Is pickleball noise still a problem? In April 2024, the Mayor of North Saanich, Peter Jones, motioned to close the Wain Park pickleball courts permanently due to noise complaints, despite community opposition and alternative noise mitigation suggestions. After the closure, local pickleball players filed for a judicial review to challenge the decision, arguing it violated procedural fairness and was made without proper consultation, with the court set to hear the case in December 2024.
