Question

What does PickleFinder's active Ontario listing inventory currently contain?

What is in scope

The active inventory contains 824 listings. 472 records publish a positive court-count field; the sum of those known fields is 1910. That is a recorded subtotal, not the total number of Ontario courts, because 352 listings do not publish a usable court count.

What the numbers are useful for

The inventory is strong enough to compare recorded access signals and identify which details are routinely absent. It is not a participation study, a supply forecast, or a substitute for a municipal inventory. The practical use is to decide where further checking is worthwhile and then visit the relevant court page and official link.

How to read this report

This analysis uses 824 active PickleFinder listing records at build time. A record represents a directory listing, not necessarily one physical court, a municipality-wide total, or every place to play in Ontario. A facility can appear in a regional group as well as its city grouping.

Unknown is not zero. When a field is blank, false because it is unconfirmed, or recorded as “not listed,” this report treats it as unavailable rather than assuming the opposite. Counts describe what is documented in the dataset and should be checked against the linked official source before a trip.
