Construction Begins on Community Recreation Facility

Stony Plain, AB

The Town of Stony Plain is excited to announce 2025 construction on the Community Recreation Facility is set to begin the week of March 24. While initial groundwork took place in 2024, major construction will begin in 2025. Residents can expect to see significant progress throughout the year, including the installation of the shell of the facility by the end of the construction season. Construction will continue into next year, and the facility is expected to open to the public in Q4 of 2026.

“This will be a very exciting construction season for the Community Recreation Facility,” says Mayor William Choy. “The new facility will be a vital space for recreation, wellness, and connection. I’m looking forward to watching this space transform, and I can’t wait to celebrate the opening with our residents in 2026.”

The Community Recreation Facility will feature community spaces, a walking and running track, a turf field, two multi-purpose sport courts, pickleball courts, a six-sheet curling facility, and a concession. Designed with future expansion in mind, the facility will be able to accommodate additional recreation and leisure phases in the years to come.

“Breaking ground was a significant moment in 2024, but now we’re entering the exciting phase where this vision starts taking physical form,” says General Manager of Community and Protective Services Karl Hill. “By the end of this construction season, residents will be able to see the physical building take shape, a visible reflection of the years of planning and work that have gone into making this project a reality.”

To accommodate construction work, a section of Brickyard Drive, starting at the roundabout on 57 Avenue, will be temporarily closed between March 24 and April 5. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead and follow detour signage.
