A 20,394-square-foot indoor sports facility providing private court rentals in Chino was approved by the Planning Commission on Nov. 20.

Ranch Sports Facility will occupy a new warehouse at 16067 Euclid Ave. offering four courts, two that can be used for basketball or volleyball, and two that can be used for pickleball or badminton, Project Planner Kim Le said.

Hourly rental rates for the volleyball/basketball courts are $75, or $80 during peak hours of 4 to 11 p.m. The badminton/pickleball courts’ hourly rate is $30, or $35 during peak hours. Operating hours are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

The facility will also offer rental for basketballs, volleyballs, badminton rackets, and pickleball paddles.

In response to Chairman Jimmy Alexandris’ question about the motivation behind the project, applicant Nikko Eric Reyes said, “I’ve seen a demand especially within Ontario Ranch, The Preserve, and Eastvale where there’s a lot of new communities but there are no sports facilities like this.”

Mr. Reyes said he plays basketball in Rancho Cucamonga and is often turned away because the courts are full or there is a league playing.

Referencing Commissioner Kevin Cisneroz’s questions about water stations, Ms. Le said there will be one water fountain and water bottle refill station inside the facility.

Mr. Alexandris asked if a second water refill station could be added near the basketball courts to prevent players from walking across the courts to access the station.

Mr. Reyes said the refill station is near the restrooms because the water pipes are located there.

Commissioner Steve Lewis said if two water stations are necessary, having both near the restrooms would be more than adequate for the facility. “Spending all that money to put water on the other side of the building wouldn’t be convenient at all,” he said.

Vending machines with sports drinks and snacks will also be available, Mr. Reyes said.

Ms. Le said the facility plans to expand its operations to offer sports training sessions and tournaments.

Training sessions for up to 15 students will be scheduled two to four times a week, Monday through Friday, and tournaments are expected to take place on weekends, she said.

The facility will have 24 dedicated parking stalls including three accessible stalls and three electric vehicle stalls, according to the report.

Parking should not be an issue for the facility which is in an industrial center with 339 parking spaces, Ms. Le said.
