Courts are assigned in arrival order for the first time block; in the later block, new players have priority and vacant courts are assigned by lottery among players already present. To claim free admission, present a valid Accès Gatineau + card at reception. All participants must be on the court five minutes after the session begins.
Groups of two or four are encouraged; solo players are welcome and may be paired, and doubles may be required when demand is high. Players stay in the same group for both time blocks.
Private training and lessons are not permitted; open play only.
Bring your own equipment; none is available to borrow or rent on site. Non-marking athletic shoes are required. Court access is subject to availability.
Court entry is permitted 10 minutes before the activity begins.
