										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>Pickleball is currently the fastest growing sport in North America. As such, demand for court space is steadily increasing across Ottawa, while tennis continues to be a well-loved sport in our community.</p>
<p>The City has identified the need for an outdoor tennis and pickleball strategy, which will ensure that communities across Ottawa have access to both sports. The strategy will also serve as a reference guide for future management, oversight, and development of all public and club-operated outdoor tennis and pickleball courts.</p>
<p>Currently the City operates over 500 outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, including combination courts (shared tennis and pickleball lines), single sport courts and municipal membership club courts.</p>
<p>Following an evaluation of the current public court model, the strategy will identify a clear direction and delivery model for both outdoor tennis and pickleball across the city of Ottawa.</p>
<p>Resident feedback is an important part of developing the City’s outdoor tennis and pickleball strategy. <a href="https://engage.ottawa.ca/tennis_pickleball">Complete the survey</a> to tell us about your household’s use of the outdoor tennis and pickleball courts in your community.</p>
<hr />
<h1 id="strat-gie-du-tennis-et-du-pickleball-ext-rieur-0">SONDAGE: Stratégie du tennis et du pickleball extérieur</h1>
<p>Le pickleball est le sport qui connaît la plus forte croissance en Amérique du Nord. Ainsi, la demande pour les terrains augmente progressivement elle aussi dans toute la ville. Le tennis demeure quant à lui un sport apprécié par la population.</p>
<p>Par conséquent, la Ville estime avoir besoin d’une stratégie pour garantir l’accès à des terrains extérieurs dans tous les quartiers pour ces deux sports. Cette stratégie servira aussi de guide de référence pour la gestion, la supervision et l’aménagement de tous les terrains, tant publics que dans les clubs.</p>
<p>Ottawa gère actuellement plus de 500 terrains extérieurs qui comprennent des terrains de tennis, de pickleball, lignés pour les deux sports et de clubs municipaux (abonnement payant).</p>
<p>La stratégie, qui sera élaborée après l’évaluation du modèle de terrains publics actuel, établira une orientation et un modèle clair pour l’aménagement de terrains extérieurs dans l’ensemble de la ville.</p>
<p>Les commentaires des résidentes et résidents occupent une place importante dans l’élaboration de la stratégie du tennis et du pickleball extérieur de la Ville d’Ottawa. <a href="https://participons.ottawa.ca/tennis_pickleball">Merci de remplir le sondage</a> qui suit pour nous donner une idée des habitudes de votre ménage.</p>
