Maple Community Centre Feasibility Study
After years of providing recreation services to the community, the community centre is ready for revitalization. The City’s Infrastructure Planning and Corporate Asset Management department completed a Building Condition Assessment on the building and found opportunities for improvements to ensure many more years of enjoyment.
To help guide these improvements, the City is undertaking another study – called a feasibility study – to gather public input, identify improvements and make a plan for implementing changes. The Facility Management department is overseeing this phase.
As part of the feasibility study, proposed improvements include:
- a transformed pool
- a renewed arena
- new recreation activity spaces
- new accessible bathrooms
- an upgraded cycling room
- clear wayfinding signage
- an updated fitness centre
Your voice matters. What proposed amenities are you most excited to see? What improvements are you hoping this revitalization will provide? View the public information session to learn more about the project. Comments and questions can be emailed directly to the project team at MapleReno@vaughan.ca until Sunday, Jan. 8.
