Get set to get energized in the sports section! Whether you’re in top shape or just starting out, you’re sure to find a sports activity to suit your needs and taste from among the host of options we offer.
Sports ground
The Ville de Saint-Lambert has many parks, several of which offer both children and adults the opportunity to practice a variety of sports activities. From soccer to tennis or softball, etc., you’re sure to find a facility from the list below where you can enjoy your favourite sport.
Tennis courts
The city has some superb tennis courts, available by reservation at Préville (2 lit courts with a synthetic turf surface) and Alexandra (3 lit courts with an acrylic surface) parks.
As soon as the weather permits in the spring, the courts will be open. They are usually open from mid-April to mid-November.
Costs
Access cards are required for the courts at Préville and Alexandra parks. You can get your card by contacting the recreation center. The cost is $140 for the season and $83 for a half season (starting August 1). Memberships are sold via the recreational activities registration module (citizen card required). New players who do not already have an access card can pick one up at the recreation centre during opening hours (600 Oak Avenue) 48 hours after purchasing their membership online.
Memberships usually go on sale at the end of March. There is no limit to the number of memberships sold. You can therefore obtain one at any time once the season has begun. The official start date of the sale is announced through our various communication tools.
Memberships are reserved for residents only. The cost of replacing a lost card is $30.
Reservations
Tennis players can make online reservations for the Alexandra and Préville courts through the ballejaune.com website. To know more, consult the Online tennis court reservation page.
