It would make sense if it were a community centre type facility where the condo residents have access.
Or perhaps the developer is being "smart" by maximizing residential GFA of their tower by having indoor amenities located outside the building.

I'd assume this is all temporary until there are more proposals for the former Walmart site, but a Drive-In movie theatre (even with nearby light pollution) and food trucks would make for a fun summer destination!
