Kitchener RBJ Schlegel Park & Recreation Centre | ?m | 2s | City of Kitchener

This is actually phase 3 of the overall park project. Phase 1 was completed in September of 2020 which included the opening of the two artificial fields, parking and play ground facilities. The cricket field and the natural turf field were built, however they opened a year or two later. Phase 2 of the project opened and was completed in late 2022 with the facilities opening in 2023. Phase 2 included a splash pad, and various courts (Basketball/Pickleball and Tennis). The washrooms on site are yet to open but they expected to this spring/summer, the washrooms are located in a heritage building that was relocated 200m to its current position on the site.

The final portion is the 144 million dollar recreation center which will be home to a FIFA sized indoor field, and a pool, with indoor cricket batting cages. This isn't expected to cost tax payers anything as all the funding is coming from provincial/federal grants as well as development charges. Construction is expected to start this spring. This is also the second or third iteration of the project with the current iteration being 80,000 sqft larger than the initial concept.
 
Thanks! And the outdoor field can accommodate several sports (cricket, soccer, etc.)
