THE VILLAGE SPORTS COMPLEX – The Sports Complex is located on Autumn Court. Little League and Tee-Ball games take place on a regular basis at Louis Michael Hanson Field, the Sister Bay Bays call the fully equipped baseball field and pavilion “home”. The tennis and basketball courts are available. Welcome additions to the Sports Complex are the full-size and micro soccer fields, and the addition of pickleball striping to the tennis courts. The ice-skating rink is home to a local broomball league during the winter months.
In February 2026, the Parks, Property & Streets Committee passed the following policy pertaining to the use of the tennis courts/pickleball courts to ensure fair access to pickleball courts, reduce administrative burden, and maintain public enjoyment of Village facilities.
General Access: All pickleball and tennis courts at the Sports Complex are available for drop-in play on a first-come, first-served basis outside of designated reservation times. No individual or group may charge fees for use of Village-owned courts.
Reservations: Official Clubs Only – Reservations are limited to recognized clubs approved by the Village of Sister Bay. Clubs may reserve courts between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays during the week. No afternoon reservations; afternoons remain first-come, first-served.
a. Application Process: Official clubs must be a non-profit organization, submit a reservation application annually by April 1st, provide proof of organized club status, and must be approved by the Parks, Property & Streets Committee. A dedicated Pickleball/Tennis Reservation Form will be used to clarify rules.
Individuals: Individuals may not reserve courts during club-designated times. Outside club times, courts are open for drop-in play only (no reservations).
Fees: Reservation fee is $20 per court for a 2-hour block (no proration). Drop-in play is free.
Signage & Rules: Updated signage will clearly state reservation times for official clubs, a first-come, first-served policy for all other times, and sportsmanship guidelines (e.g., hang your paddle system). No unauthorized signage allowed.
Damage to Facilities: Purposeful destruction of property will result in the closure of the courts until private funds are collected to replace/repair the damaged property.
Enforcement: Reservations outside policy parameters will not be approved. Violations may result in suspension of reservation privileges.
Future Considerations: Clubs are encouraged to fundraise for dedicated pickleball courts. Village staff will assist with grant applications if applicable.
