Tennis & Pickleball Courts Policies

Hard + Fast Rules, Expectations

The intention of this guide is to provide policies and set expectation about how the tennis + pickleball facilities can/should be used by members of the Glendale/Glendale Meadows Community Association. The goal is for the GGMCA Board to provide facilities to play tennis and or pickleball and manage the access to the facilities in an equitable manner. These guidelines and statements below are meant to help direct all stakeholders toward achieving that goal of promoting equitable access to a safe facility.

1. The two tennis courts, and three pickleball courts are currently available on a first come-first served drop-in basis for active Glendale tennis and pickleball club members. Check our web site events listing to see if a certain court is booked by a group. The courts can be booked and rented for private use.

2. At least one person playing on a GGMCA tennis or pickleball court(s) MUST BE a current GGMCA community member and have the current season TENNIS/PICKLEBALL ACCESS KEY in their possession. A member can only use one (1) court at a time.

2b. A current paid member can invite up to 3 non-member guests to play tennis or pickleball but can use only one court. The member must be on the court when guests are present. Other paid members are allowed to ask whether players playing have a membership.

2c. If you happen to lose your current season access key and need a replacement, you forfiet your current key deposit and will be charged a new $20 key deposit for the replacement key. The fee must be paid before a new key is issued. If you happen to find your key later, simply return it and we will return the deposit.

3. When there are more players than courts, playing time is limited to 30 minute sessions, and players are expected to rotate newly arriving members into upcoming games. There are no block reservations of playing times or courts unless you are renting the courts for private use.

4. Pickleball will be played only in The Rink or on the pickleball court outside the tennis court (see map). Pickleball CANNOT be played inside the tennis court. The tennis courts are currently for tennis only. Other activities played on and inside the tennis courts are not permitted or allowed. If you are playing anything other than tennis inside the courts, you can be asked to leave the court.

5. Play can only be during daylight hours. Be respectful of our neighbours with noise. Etiquette and Conduct expectations are spelled out in our full guide.

6. Members are expected to sweep/squeegee a court before playing if/when needed. Tools are provided and hanging in the tennis court, or stored in the pickleball storage bin. You are ensuring the playing surfaces are safe.

7. The Glendale/Glendale Meadows Community Association reserves the right to amend this guide at any time. Check the web site to ensure you have the most recent version of the guide and rules for using these facilities.

8. In the event of a complaint about access and to promote equitable use of the facilities, the Glendale/Glendale Meadows Community Association reserves the right to duly appoint a staff member or volunteer to ask any players on the playing surface and community grounds for proof of current membership. This is done by searching for the memberships in our database. You could be asked to leave the courts if you are not a member or playing with a member present.

8. Intimidation, harassment, verbal abuse, or any physical contact of GGMCA volunteers managing the tennis/pickleball facilities, or other players playing on the facilities will not be tolerated, and is not allowed.

The GGMCA Board reserves the right to revoke the membership of offending parties.

This guide will be updated as needed and it was last updated April 2025.
