Skyway Community Centre and Park Construction Project

Skyway Community Centre Construction

A New Community Centre will be built to replace the single pad, Skyway Arena. The existing arena will be demolished, and a new community centre will be built. The 48-year old building has reached a point where refrigeration equipment and building components have reached the end of their lifecycle, and repair and upgrades are required due environmental, accessibility and efficiency reasons.

Some of the features of the project include:

• A full-sized 200’ x 85’ ice-pad
• Multi-Use program space
• Six change rooms with showers and washrooms
• Warm and cold spectator seating with accessible options
• Indoor walking track
• Lobby with customer service area and offices
• Universal washrooms

The facility will include a low carbon design to align with the City’s goal of having a carbon neutral operation.

Central Park Seniors Exercise Stations and Social Space

Location:

Central Park will be the home of new Seniors Exercise Stations and Social Space. The exercise stations will have workout equipment that are built for seniors. In between gentle workouts, the seniors can rest and socialize at the seating benches under the shade of trees.

See Location Map [PDF]

Description:

This project is from a donation from the Burlington Seniors Community Programs and Services Inc. (BSCI). The BSCI donated the first Seniors Exercise Stations and Social Space in the beautiful Burloak Waterfront Park in 2020. The success of this project prompted the decision by BSCI to build a second one in Central Park. Central Park was chosen as the site is frequented by seniors who may be visiting the Seniors Centre and the library.

Construction Timeline:

The project will take place in two stages:

1. Construction of the concrete pad space in November/early December 2022
2. Installation of the exercise stations in April 2023.

Headon Forest Drive Pedestrian Bridge Closed for Replacement

Overview

The City of Burlington has closed the Headon Forest Pedestrian Bridge to ensure public safety. During recent maintenance and repair work, it was determined the main structure of the bridge is in very poor condition. The steel structural supports under the wood decking have significant corrosion and can no longer support the bridge. The deterioration has occurred rapidly since the last inspection of the bridge. An inspection by a Structural Engineer confirmed the bridge must be closed for safety purposes.  

The bridge will remain closed until it can be replaced. It is anticipated the new bridge will be installed and open for use in spring 2023. All efforts are being made to advance this timeline, if possible. 

During the bridge closure, do not place wooden pallets or other structures in the creek, as this can create a blockage which can result in significant flooding. 

Please detour along Headon Forest Drive, Northampton Boulevard and Dundas Street or along Headon Forest Drive,...
