Our versatile court is designed to accommodate both squash and racquetball, with an adjustable rear wall that easily slides and locks into place, allowing you to set the court dimensions for your preferred game. Whether you're looking to enjoy a fast-paced racquetball match or a competitive squash game, the court can be quickly customized to meet your needs. For added flexibility, the court can also be used for badminton. Simply screw the badminton net into the court wall, and store the net in the provided container when not in use.
Court Access The court is located on the lower level of the Recreation Centre, with a large picture window on the main level for easy viewing. Attire and Footwear To maintain the quality of the court, appropriate athletic attire is required, and non-marking indoor athletic shoes are mandatory. This ensures both safety and the longevity of the court’s surface. Whether you're playing squash, racquetball, or badminton, our court provides a fantastic space to stay active and enjoy your favorite sports!
Booking Due to the popularity of the racquet courts during weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, it is recommended that racquetball and squash enthusiasts book their game times in advance using our booking system, Wellness Living. Times may be booked in one hour increments. As a courtesy, consecutive bookings are discouraged. However, if the court remains un-booked during your hour, you will have the advantage of booking another hour.
Priority will always be given to the registered fitness classes and those residents who have a booking.
Alternate Uses
During times of non-peak usage, some UHA members have found creative alternate uses for the racquet court. Taking advantage of the large, bright and relatively sound-proof room, some residents enjoy the space to practice Tai Chi and similar disciplines. Occasionally the court has been booked by Uplands dance soloists seeking extra practices during festival times.
If residents wish to book the court during non-peak times for something other than racquet sports, please call the facility manager (see Contacts) for permission.
Remember, only soft-soled, non-marking, indoor shoes will be allowed on the court. Dancers -- NO tap or character shoes!
