Alas, the pickleball courts at the corner of Rosehill and Yonge are no more.
The property was re-assessed by MPAC as an operating business from a vacant property with the entity charging users to play. This dramatically increased the assessed value of the property and hence increased the property taxes due to the city. As such, the owners, who were trying to animate an area for the neighbourhood as they wait for more propitious market conditions, decided that re-assessment was too punishing and have closed it permanently. This does not bode well as we try to encourage other property owners to do something with their lots. One is a bit at a loss for words.
