Excerpt from Regina Leader Post - Facitities planning

Rather than use my own words, I'll use an excerpt from the Regina Leader Post regarding the proposed facilities.

From the Leader Post

"Some key plan highlights include:

• Establishing a capital reserve to support community-group-led projects.

• Keeping open all eight of the city’s existing indoor ice arenas, as well as the six new arenas at the Co-operators Centre. The city would handle scheduling.

• At the Lawson Aquatic Centre site: adding a new indoor leisure aquatics facility, then using the existing for competition/training; adding outdoor aquatics.

• Enhancing the North West, Sandra Schmirler and South Leisure Centres. As the South does not have an aquatics facility now, adding one there is a goal.

• Replacing Wascana Pool with an outdoor aquatic park with pool, comprehensive spray pad, accessible playground, concession and support spaces.

• Both repairing and enhancing the existing Regina Performing Arts Centre.

• Adding 10,000 sq. ft. to the 13,000-sq.-ft. Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre, and addressing issues of access/parking.

• Establishing a new Heritage (Core) Community Centre and consulting the community regarding the Pasqua Recreation Centre, which requires repairs.

• Building the North West Link pathway — potentially as early as next year.

• Planning for replacing the Regent Par-3 golf course with other recreation.

• Keeping Dewdney and Maple Leaf pools open until the community indicates the facilities are no long needed.

• Having fewer, but better quality, outdoor rinks, with a rink within three kilometres of most homes, and developing three outdoor pleasure skating sites.

A potential Mosaic Stadium replacement is not within the scope of the plan."

So there you have it. interesting no?
