AB-2025-05512 - RFP 25-015 ARCHITECHURAL DESIGN SERVICES SPRINGBANK RECREATION FACILITIES

The Recreation and Parks Master Plan identified the Springbank area as a high priority for recreation and community amenities in the short, medium, and long term. Community desire for amenities including facilities, pathways and trails, and cultural or community uses has increased. The County has supported recreation initiatives in Springbank including the purchase of 75 acre parcel and the approval of business cases for the South Springbank Community Facilities. The business cases identified three development phases over a period of 15 years: Phase 1 - Community Events Centre, Studio, and Multipurpose Rooms, Phase 2 - Indoor Turf Field Complex, and Phase 3 – Park.

To better understand the current needs of the community, the County engaged the community by gathering information through an open house and online survey. The preferred option was the construction of a Community Events Centre and an Indoor Turf Field Complex in separate buildings located on the 75 acre parcel
