Spring cleanup underway in Saskatoon’s outdoor sport areas

Cleanup is underway in Saskatoon’s outdoor sport areas this week.

Brad Babyak, Saskatoon’s recreation services manager, said the recent snowfall has left workers playing catch-up.

“The spring snowstorm has delayed placing lines on the fields: however, Parks will try to catch up subject to any inclement weather,” Babyak said in a statement.

The city’s parks maintenance crew will be grooming ball diamonds this week to prepare for minor sports groups that begin playing next week. Adult sport groups are set to start the week after.

Tennis and pickleball courts will also get a spring cleaning starting this week. Once completed, nets will be added and courts will be opened to the public.
