Stony Plain Breaks Ground on New Regional Community Recreation Facility

Stony Plain, AB

The Town of Stony Plain is excited to announce that ground has been broken on the highly anticipated Community Recreation Facility. The new facility will serve as a central hub for regional wellness, recreation, and gathering. With features that include 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, the facility is designed to meet the growing needs of both current and future residents.

The development of the Regional Community Recreation Facility has been a priority for the Town of Stony Plain since the 2017 Indoor Recreation Study, which identified the need for expanded recreation amenities in the Tri-Municipal Region. The facility is designed to accommodate future recreation and leisure additions, including aquatics and ice facilities, growing with the future needs of the region.

“The regional Community Recreation Facility is more than just a space for physical activity. It is a place where residents can connect, build community, and foster a sense of belonging,” say Mayor William Choy. “This is an exciting day for the region, I look forward to celebrating the opening of the facility with the community in 2026.”

The facility, which is expected to open in late 2026, marks a significant advancement of a key priority of the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, the development of facilities and amenities that support a vibrant and inclusive community. The Regional Community Recreation Facility will be located next to the new Westview School and west of Glenn Hall Centennial Arena in Old Town South.

“This facility is an important addition to the improved health and connectiveness of our community,” says General Manager of Community and Protective Services Karl Hill. “Its design and features offer recreation and leisure opportunities that will enrich the lives of our residents for years to come.”

The construction of the facility has a total approved project budget of $41,651,871, supported by funding partnerships with Westridge Curling Club, local developer contributions, and Parkland County. The facility has been designed by BR2 Architecture and will be constructed by Jen-Col Construction.
