The redevelopment of the Parkinson Recreation Centre in Kelowna, B.C., is part of the city’s efforts to recreate recreation through its Building a Stronger Kelowna initiative.
Design plans for the redeveloped Parkinson Recreation Centre will elevate programming, support health and wellness, enable rehabilitation, and champion local athletes. The project will include a park rich in public amenities and gathering spaces.
Once complete, the facility will have 2.5 times more aquatic space. Amenities will include a 25-m (82-ft) 10-lane pool, leisure pool, hot tub, cold plunge, steam room, sauna, three full-sized gyms, fitness centre, a running/walking track, fitness studios, multi-purpose rooms, food services, and ORL express library, as well as a dedicated childcare space.
In this age of perpetual government deficit spending and massive debt, shouldn’t every responsible citizen and leader be reconsidering the wisdom of government provided “Health and Wellness?”
Just asking…
