White Pages shows only one listing with the right surname, but it is in Toronto.

Of course, children might well have moved away from the Vancouver area.

Sandplatz in German is clay court (tennis), according to google translate in Estonian sandplats could mean sandpit or sand square. Maybe either meaning may make sense in terms of the box size and shape, a shoe box perhaps?
There was an Estonian tennis player called Made Lindre, born in 1939 in Hamann but I'm guessing that's just a coincedence and the surname probably isn't uncommon.
