Construction on a new indoor sports facility is set to begin this spring in Sherwood Park, Alberta. Strathcona County announced that the new fieldhouse will provide much-needed space for local athletic groups and community events throughout the year.
The facility will be built at 240 Broadview Drive, located between the Bethel Transit Terminal and Millennium Place. It will feature a large, multi-purpose turf field that can be divided into smaller sections, allowing different teams and community groups to use the space at the same time.
The project also includes finishing the construction of Broadview Drive to connect Broadview Road with Buckingham Drive. This road work is intended to improve local traffic flow and make it easier for residents to reach businesses in the area.
Because of the construction, the Sally Stewart Dog Park will be moved to a temporary location starting this spring. Mayor Rod Frank noted that the facility is a top priority for residents who have asked for more indoor recreation options to address crowding at other local centres.
