Held July 25th and 26th, the tournament brought players from Peterborough and beyond together for a weekend of competitive matches while celebrating the life and legacy of longtime local pickleball player Steve Mayhew.

The event also showcased the city's new pickleball courts at Bonnerworth Park, which have quickly become a popular destination for both recreational and tournament play.
In addition to the on-court action, the Peterborough Pickleball Association made a donation on behalf of Steve Mayhew's family to the sports division at Warkworth Institution, where Mayhew was a longtime employee.

Tournament organizers said players travelling to Peterborough for the event also helped support local hotels, restaurants and businesses throughout the weekend. The association also thanked the City of Peterborough, volunteers and sponsors for helping make the tournament possible.
With a tournament in the books, the Peterborough Pickleball Association is now looking ahead to the rest of the season, including leagues, clinics, open play and the inaugural Super Senior Slam Tournament.
