Recreation Projects

The expansion includes construction of a brand-new double gymnasium with adult-sized courts for multiple sports (basketball, volleyball, badminton and pickleball). The project will also include new painting, flooring and fixtures within the existing building, a new reception and front entrance canopy, and a multi-purpose community space. Regular maintenance work on the pool will also be completed during this closure.
