With warmer temperatures on the horizon, outdoor municipal sports courts are being reopened for use.
The Municipality of Chatham-Kent announced on Thursday that nets have been reinstalled and tennis and pickleball courts are now open throughout the municipality.
Windscreening will also be installed soon at the new pickleball courts in Dresden, Blenheim, Wallaceburg, and Tilbury, which were completed late last year.
