The new Aquatics and Arenas Recreation Centre will be located on 25 acres of serviced land South East of the Marquis and 6th Avenue East Intersection. It will be part of The Yard, an 80 acre development by locally owned Signature Development Corporation. The land is currently under development and will be fully serviced with underground water, sewer and storm infrastructure installed prior to construction.
Envisioned as a multifaceted hub for business, entertainment, dining, and retail, The Yard unites our city’s pride and potential to create a vibrant new district where escape from the everyday is possible. With an aquatics centre, an ice arena, plentiful shopping spots, concert venues, recreation spaces, restaurants, bars, and more, whatever adventure you’re seeking, whatever taste you’re craving, you can find it right here. ~ https://signaturedevelopments.net/
The location was selected because of its potential for future development and taxation revenue opportunities as complimentary businesses locate in the area to serve residents and visitors that attend for events and tournaments. Other locations were considered, but lacked future development opportunities.
