Question
Which useful facility attributes are consistently published and which are mostly unknown?
Two different kinds of measurement
Field coverage asks whether a record has a usable value. Confirmed positive signals count only records that explicitly state a feature or access fact. They answer different questions.
These amenity fields function as positive-confirmation signals. A false value does not reliably distinguish between “not available” and “not confirmed,” so they are not used to calculate field-coverage percentages.
Field coverage
| Field with usable recorded value | Listings | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Usable positive court count | 472 | 57.3% |
| Surface value | 566 | 68.7% |
| Court type field | 798 | 96.8% |
| Cost/access-status field | 564 | 68.4% |
| Seasonality field | 792 | 96.1% |
| Last verified date | 515 | 62.5% |
| Official source or website | 824 | 100.0% |
Confirmed positive signals
These are counts of explicit positives, not a measure of how complete the underlying amenity data is.
| Explicit positive signal | Listings | Share of inventory |
|---|---|---|
| Explicitly free | 46 | 5.6% |
| Open-play signal | 256 | 31.1% |
| Nets confirmed | 3 | 0.4% |
| Paddle rental confirmed | 9 | 1.1% |
| Lessons confirmed | 18 | 2.2% |
What the distinction means
A low confirmed-net, rental, lesson, or free count does not mean that the feature is uncommon or that its field has low coverage. It means the active dataset contains few explicit positive confirmations. Source links and basic setting information remain more useful for planning than speculative detail; “Not listed” and “Check official source” are retained where the data does not support a claim.
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.
Data source and methodology
- PickleFinder's active normalized Ontario court dataset, calculated at build time.
- Listing-level official municipal, facility, club, and booking sources where a record provides one.
