The SEAPARC Leisure Complex expansion was substantially completed on January 31, 2020. Subsequently, the new spaces, including the weight room and fitness studio, opened on February 7. The expansion addresses the need for a fitness gym facility and additional multi-purpose space. This addition enhances the diversity of programs and recreation opportunities the complex offers with its ice arena (built in 1976), two pools, one multi-purpose room and a meeting room (built in 2000). SEAPARC also owns and operates a bike park, skate park, baseball diamond and par 3 golf course.
The expansion has increased the 4,739 square metre (51,020 square foot) footprint of the complex by 10%, or approximately 478 square metres (5,150 square feet). The addition includes a 36 square metre (383 square foot) Child Minding Room, a 144 square metre (1,550 square foot) Movement Studio and Multi-Use Room and a 334 square metre (3,600 square foot) Fitness Gym.
This project was made possible with the assistance of a $1.24 million grant from the Strategic Priorities Federal Gas Tax Fund.
