A survey being conducted by Zorra Township aims to get feedback from residents on the possibility of outdoor recreational courts in the Oxford County municipality.
The brief survey has nine questions focusing on community interest in ball or road hockey, basketball, pickleball, tennis and other outdoor sports. The questionnaire also allows residents to provide additional feedback not specifically asked about.

"Since adoption of the master plan, community members have appeared before the Zorra recreation advisory committee and township council to request construction of such courts," a release stated.
Zorra council previously accepted the recreation, arts and culture master plan in 2018.
The 139-page plan highlighted the importance and priorities of providing recreation and cultural needs in the township.
There were five strategic directions developed by focusing on healthy communities, working together, promoting awareness of opportunities, keeping facilities relevant and enhancing park, open spaces and trails.
However, the report didn't identify an immediate need for amenities such as basketball or tennis courts.
Monteith and Brown, a London-based consulting firm, made 54 recommendations during the planning process that were classified into short-, medium- and long-term goals.
The plan is expected to run until 2028, when Zorra is projected to grow to as many as 8,500 residents.
