From Granite to Game-Ready: A Stunning Sport Court Build on McLean Lake
Tucked away in the peaceful landscape of McLean Bay in Severn Township, the Hersh Tencer Project is a shining example of what happens when vision, engineering, and craftsmanship come together. Built on a challenging granite surface with significant elevation, this fully customized 32’ x 62’ pickleball and basketball court is more than just a play space — it’s a testament to the expertise and dedication of the team at Sport Court Ontario.
“I’m on McLean Lake at my cottage… standing on Granite and Canadian Shield with an incredibly deep grade. They were able to build a retaining wall with this beautiful armor stone about eight feet below to create this platform — it’s just amazing how they were able to accomplish this.” — Hersh, McLean Bay homeowner
Premium Performance, Built to Last
The surface of the court features SportGame PB, the Official Modular Surface of USA Pickleball, providing the perfect bounce and feel for both pickleball and basketball. It’s designed to deliver top-tier traction, shock absorption, and all-weather durability.
“This sport court material has got the perfect bounce for both pickleball and basketball.”
