Background

The 2007 Council approved Medium Term Recreation and Sports Field Plan identifies Coronation District Park as a site for the development of a community recreation centre close to Peter Hemingway Fitness and Leisure Center. This strategy was based on an extensive community needs assessment and public consultation.

In 2011, City Council supported exploring the opportunity and potential partnership to incorporate an indoor cycling track in the facility and find another suitable location for the twin arena planned for the facility (See the 10-Year Arena Capital Development Strategy - 2009-2019). The Community Recreation Centre will also include a fitness centre, gymnasium, multipurpose rooms and child play space.

TELUS World of Science has developed a Master Plan that includes redevelopment and expansion of the facility to achieve their mission to create a positive science and technology culture through the delivery of programs and services.
