Skyview Ranch recreation centre and civic site:

The Skyview Ranch Recreation Centre is part of the Skyview Ranch Civic Site, located on a 11 to 13-acre site near Country Hills Blvd. and 60 St. N.E.

In alignment with the Council-adopted GamePLAN Making Waves service level, this recreation centre will:

• Help increase recreation services to match population growth.

• Increase the number of residents living within 5km of a pool.

• Be built to modern standards that better meet the needs of the community.

• Be more cost-efficient and more operationally efficient to run.

This project also aligns with two of GamePLAN’s principles:

• Level the playing field: GamePLAN seeks to remove barriers to participation, especially for children and youth.

• Change the game: GamePLAN challenges historical definitions of recreation and promotes new ways of thinking about the role of public recreation in civic life.

Complete communities:

Complete communities are designed to make it easier, safer, and more appealing for people to be active and connect with one another, leading to improved mental and physical health. A key element in developing these communities is ensuring that public library, City recreation facilities and amenities are accessible to everyone.

These facilities play a vital role in fostering complete communities by promoting active lifestyles, creating vibrant public spaces, and enhancing cultural vitality. They encourage social connections and offer significant benefits to individuals, families, and the community as a whole. Programs and services available at these facilities help people develop skills that nurture their quality of life, boost community engagement through leadership opportunities, and improve safety in Calgary through aquatic programs to name a few.
