Itinerary:
This event is designed to encourage more people to get out and make use of the most picturesque tennis courts in Alberta. Located among the resorts of Kananaskis Village, the 6 courts are neatly arranged in 3 pairs with flowers and oak benches interspersed among them. They are hardly ever in use except when some large corporation books them for an event. Be prepared to play singles or doubles depending on court availability. All levels of players are welcome. The coordinator will be there one hour early to hold a court and is happy to hit balls with players of all skill levels. The grounds are immaculately kept so anyone wanting to bring their dog must first contact the coordinator and ensure that the dog is leashed and well behaved around tennis courts, that any mess created by the dog is dealt with immediately after it occurs, and that no animals are left without water or unattended in vehicles. Participants will meet at Kananaskis Village tennis courts. Car-pooling is only available to those who arrange it among themselves as the coordinator has plans to be in K-Country the whole day on Saturday.
