Overview

The new aquatics and community centre will be built adjacent to Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre where the Sixth Avenue parking lot is currently located. This site location was selected to allow for Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre to remain open during construction. Additionally, this site accounts for other site constraints including the presence of a large diameter Metro Vancouver sewer main that traverses the site.

Safety is a top priority throughout construction. To ensure the safety of the public, we ask that everyone obey all construction signage and access facilities from designated entrances only. Please note that as construction progresses, restricted areas may change or move.

Programs have been relocated to other recreation and community facilities. For more information, please visit www.newwestcity.ca/rec
