This project is developing the new Rollie Miles Recreation Centre - a vibrant community hub to serve as a replacement for Scona Pool, inspire local recreation participation and showcase how a new facility can respond to climate change pressures.
A revised design will be shared in 2023 with additional opportunity for public engagement. The Rollie Miles Recreation Centre project is funded for the planning and preliminary design, but detailed design and construction are currently unfunded.
About the Project
The Rollie Miles Recreation Centre will be a small recreation facility that responds to the facility assessment, demographics and community needs. The facility will replace Scona Pool which is nearing the end of its lifecycle. The project is currently funded for the planning and preliminary design. Detailed design and construction are currently unfunded.
The planned location for the new facility is identified in the
Rollie Miles Park Master Plan
(20MB). While this project is separate from the Rollie Miles District Park Renewal project, both project teams maintain close communication and recognize coordination is important for design alignment, community engagement and project success.
Based on past community consultation, this recreation centre should include the following features:
Fitness area
Gymnasium
Multi-purpose room
Aquatic element with a lane and teaching pool
Multipurpose court to support basketball, ball/roller hockey, toddler cycling, and other uses
The project includes the eventual demolition of Scona Pool and the City-owned building currently leased by the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues. Both these facilities are nearing the end of their lifecycle.
The existing tennis courts are planned to be rebuilt further west to allow sufficient space for the Recreation Centre and related amenities.

Project History
This project is closely tied to the Rollie Miles Master Plan and District park renewal. The following history applies to the Strategy development of both projects.
The functional program will include the prioritized activities and services that could be included in a new Community Recreation Centre in Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park.
Reengage stakeholder committees to prepare for public engagement around development of a detailed program (functional program) for a Community Recreation Centre.
The draft Master Plan was shared at the Community and Public Services Committee September 12, 2016. As a result, City Council passed the following motion on September 21, 2016:
That Administration develop a detailed program, that includes a capital cost and a business case, for a small recreation centre including a swimming pool in Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park
That Administration continue to consult with members of the community based on the proposed Rollie Miles Field District Master Plan
Reestablishing the Community Advisory Committee that supported the Public Involvement Plan and engagement activities in the first phases of the master plan project.
