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.
