The Riverside Badminton and Tennis Club is preparing to open its outdoor tennis courts as early as this weekend.
The Lakewood Indoor Tennis Centre has yet to get the green light as an indoor facility.
“We continue to wait for a reopen date,” said club general manager Brandon Smith in an email.
Saskatchewan is the last province in Canada to reopen its tennis courts.
Tennis enthusiast Margaret Pulfer was pleasantly surprised to hear that Saskatoon’s courts will open soon.
“That’s amazing,” she said Wednesday. “It’s wonderful. We’re just really, really pleased by this idea.”
Provincial government officials released a statement on Wednesday announcing that outdoor tennis courts will be allowed to reopen “at the discretion of the facility operator as an individual outdoor activity following the (physical distancing and other safety) guidelines” listed on Page 44 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan.
