If the pool and fitness centre is built in Central Park would we lose green space?
No.
Central park currently includes Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre, a parking area, two tennis courts, a basketball court, and outdoor fitness area, a children’s play park and two ball fields.
If the new Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre is built in the park there would be no permanent loss of green space. The plans put forward by HCMA suggest building the new centre beside the current centre so there is no interruption in service. This new location maximizes open space in the park.
Once built, the space where the current centre is becomes park space. Existing sport courts and play features would be considered in future park plan. There is an opportunity for the community to provide more information on how to best use this new space.
