Phase III Park Project Campaign
Phase III will include constructing an outdoor rink/hardcourt surface area with team benches, transparent glass, ice-level doors, and an accessible viewing area with bleachers. It will also include a 2600-square-foot outbuilding used to store recreational and adaptive equipment for our Equipment Loan Program and Linda’s Equipment Crossing, which is free province-wide.
