New Delbrook Park field house opens

We’ve opened the new Delbrook Park field house for community sports groups and park visitors.

The 900-square-foot facility features four fully accessible washrooms to ensure everyone has easy access from the upper and lower levels of the park.

The energy-efficient facility uses electricity for heating and hot water, and lighting is controlled by occupancy and daylight sensors. The building also features a small concession space and storage for sports organizations.

“We’re excited about adding new amenities that make our parks more inclusive and accessible for everyone in our community to use,” says Adam Vasilevich, Section Manager, Parks Planning and Development.

Each washroom at the field house has an automatic door opener, ample space for mobility devices and accessible fixtures.

The field house also includes a plaza area at field level for spectators, and a lower-level area for watching tennis or small gatherings.

Delbrook Park includes a playground, tennis courts and grass and gravel fields.

The new Delbrook Park field house replaces an old field house that was in poor condition, not fully accessible, and no longer met the needs of the user groups.

A $750,000 grant from the federal government’s Canada Community Revitalization Fund contributed to constructing the new field house.
