2 Recreation Facility Master Plan Recreation Facility Master Plan: A crucial roadmap

Thanks to a strong tradition of investment, Edmonton is served by a broad range of public recreation, leisure and cultural facilities. Hockey rinks, pools, gymnasia, golf courses, heritage spots, recreation centres and other City of Edmonton facilities give us places to gather, relax, build healthy bodies and enjoy leisure pursuits. Key to the active and interactive living that creates healthy people and vibrant neighbourhoods, these facilities also help attract national and international events, polishing our reputation as a host city.

The City of Edmonton Recreation Facility Master Plan lays out a roadmap for ensuring that future citizens enjoy these same benefits. Approved by City Council on August 31, 2004, the plan provides a focused and strategic vision for meeting public recreation, leisure and cultural facility needs until 2015. Guided by the principles outlined in the Community Service Department’s Integrated Services Strategy, the plan clarifies civic priorities for both citizens and potential partners.

Recreation Facility Master Plan 3 What recreation facilities do we have now?

Edmonton has numerous public ice pads, aquatic facilities, older adult centres, fitness centres and golf courses. Many of those facilities attract clients from specific areas of the city, although each one is open to all citizens. In addition, the City runs specialty facilities: Fort Edmonton Park, Valley Zoo, John Janzen Nature Centre, Muttart Conservatory, John Walter Museum, Commonwealth Stadium, the City of Edmonton Archives and the City Arts Centre. Other specialty facilities are operated through various partnership arrangements with the City: Argyll Velodrome, curling rinks, indoor soccer centres, Kinsmen Pitch and Putt, Mill Woods Golf Course, Telus World of Science (formerly Odyssium), ski clubs, and the Whitemud Equine Centre.

As Edmonton evolves, our recreation patterns change as well. Trends shaping our facility needs include the following:

◆ Population growth – Edmonton is expected to grow the equivalent of another mid-sized city by 2015, adding to recreation demand. Growth will concentrate in parts of the city more distant from the central core and in surrounding municipalities, whose residents also visit our facilities.

◆ Aging infrastructure – Many of the City’s recreation facilities are more than 20 years old, need regular maintenance or significant renovation and are not as energy efficient or flexible as today’s designs. It’s important to identify which older facilities deserve to be redeveloped to meet current and anticipated needs.

◆ Changing demographics – Gradual aging of the population, coupled with an expanding array of cultures, expands our range of recreation needs. Today’s facilities must be planned, designed and located so that all residents have equitable access.

◆ Loose community ties – A sense of community is critical to the health and well-being of individuals, families and the community at large. Recreation facilities should help knit us together by being places where all ages and all members of a community feel welcome and engaged.

◆ Quality of Life – Increasingly, it’s clear that recreation plays a huge role in our overall well-being as individuals and communities. Living in one of Canada’s most northern cities, we rely on all-season facilities to stay physically active and connected during long winters of limited sunlight.

6 Recreation Facility Master Plan What are other cities doing?

The Recreation Facility Master Plan is grounded in extensive research, including a scan of best practices that found the following emerging trends:

◆ Multi-purpose facilities – A shift from single-purpose buildings to versatile spaces with flexible programming is the most significant of the trends.

◆ Recreation destinations – Several Edmonton facilities are already moving toward this model, which co- locates sports and leisure activities (skating, hockey, swimming, fitness) with retail and entertainment (cinemas, grocery stores, sports stores).

◆ Health plus recreation – Both operators and users are seeing the benefit of locating health and recreation services together.

◆ Attractive and welcoming – Today’s users are choosing facilities with style and class over utilitarian design.

◆ Co-located entrepreneurs – Facilities increasingly include revenue-generating space for such amenities as ATMs, licensed food services and equipment shops.

◆ Modified leisure pools – Aquatic trends include irregular pool shapes, waterslides, fountains, moveable floors, warmer water, access for users with disabilities, space for beginner lessons, lanes for lap swimming and family change rooms.

◆ Multiple-use arenas – Arenas without summer ice are installing temporary multi-purpose floor boards for in-line hockey, box lacrosse, basketball and volleyball. Some arenas are adding leisure ice, typically at the end of, and smaller than, the hockey rink.

Recreation Facility Master Plan 7 What principles guide facility development?

Under the master plan, the following ten principles guide decisions regarding City of Edmonton recreation facility construction, management and financing. Reflecting citizen priorities and supporting the direction set by the Integrated Services Strategy, the principles are applied as a package to both new construction and renovation unless valid reason exists for another course of action.

◆ Community hubs – Public recreation facilities will be gathering points serving geographic areas of approximately 40,000 to 60,000 people, preferably multi-purpose in design.

◆ Integrated – Wherever possible, facilities will be co-located with community arts and culture facilities as well as compatible health, social and community services, thus increasing opportunities for integration.

◆ Grouped – Ice surfaces, indoor soccer, gymnasia and other compatible uses will be twinned or grouped wherever land availability makes that feasible, to support economies of scale and expand use.

◆ Range of opportunities – Facilities will provide a range of opportunities, creating synergies in skill and interest development.

◆ Flexible design – To the degree possible, future facilities will be flexible in design, able to accommodate a wide range of uses and convertible to other uses as needs evolve.

◆ Physical linkages and access – Recreation facilities will be located on major transit routes and connected to other recreation and district facilities by natural and hard trails. They will be fully accessible and welcoming to all citizens.

◆ Neighbourhood integrity – The City will respond to important local needs and maintain the integrity of neighbourhoods through support for appropriate neighbourhood facilities.

◆ Specialty facilities – Citywide and specialty facilities should be programmed for the designated use in prime time.

◆ Focused funding – To ensure basic opportunities for all residents, the City will focus municipal tax dollars and other tax-based resources on developing facilities that accommodate basic services in key service target areas.

◆ Shared development – Facilities that exceed basic design standards and service levels will continue to be developed through funding partnerships with other organizations, such as schools, health-care providers, community service groups, not-for-profit organizations and private sector developers.

8 Recreation Facility Master Plan The recreation facility continuum

Recognizing that a city our size needs facilities of varying size and scope, this plan aims to build a recreation facility continuum made up of four facility types:

✵ Neighbourhood facilities ◆ District facilities ◆ Specialty facilities ◆ Citywide facilities

As shown in this chart, the four facility types fill unique yet overlapping roles.

CITYWIDE SPECIALITY DISTRICT NEIGHBOURHOOD FACILITIES FACILITIES FACILITIES FACILITIES

10 Recreation Facility Master Plan How will this plan shape our future?

While all facilities within the continuum will continue to receive support, the master plan concentrates on setting parameters for the development of multi-purpose district facilities. The master plan defines new and expanded multi-purpose recreation facilities to Edmonton’s existing array of multi-purpose facilities stretching to 2015 and even beyond. Due to their size and scope, these facilities are well suited to incorporate such priority principles as integrated service and shared development. Ideally, neighbourhood, specialty and citywide facilities also follow the principles, although their size or purpose may make some principles less suitable.

The plan seeks partnerships with health care, education and social service agencies to provide integrated service. Those partnerships build on the foundation laid by existing joint use agreements with schools, already a key aspect of the Edmonton service model.

This plan envisions a city where all citizens have access to welcoming, conveniently located facilities that enhance our sense of community by offering integrated services suited to a wide range of interests and skills. This strategic approach responds to today’s realities while providing the flexibility to adapt as population grows and recreation trends shift.
