The Municipality of Clarington has revealed design plans for the new South Bowmanville Recreation Centre.

The approved Phase 1 design renderings call for a gymnasium; multi-purpose rooms for recreation programming; quiet room; and a FIFA-sized multi-sport dome with indoor walking track that can accommodate a variety of field sports.

The design also features an outdoor skating trail that can be used in the warmer months as an outdoor community event space or a public market area, and a playground on the site.

Phase 2 designs also added an aquatic centre. The facility will include a 25-metre main pool, a teaching pool, therapy pool and large viewing area among other features.

“We know Clarington families will share our excitement about the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre plans,” said Mayor Adrian Foster. “We’re thrilled to dive into planning a new pool in Bowmanville, and we’re looking forward to getting the province on board to help make it happen.”

Construction is scheduled to begin next spring.
