I have many good memories of playing tennis at Carnarvon Park. Generally, it was on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Last year some of the courts were switched to pickle ball and the tradition continued. This year, however, Oak Bay Parks has put in a pay-for-play booking system, which is great if youB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™re old, white and retired and have nothing better to do all day than book your court and roll up in your BMW.
Remember the name. ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Carnarvon Park, not Carnarvon Country Club. Pickle ball should not be a private membersB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ club, but open to everyone.
