City releases report as the first step toward a rationalization and modernization review of its aquatic facilities
The City of Greater Sudbury has drafted a report on the city’s aquatics facilities as the first step toward a rationalization and modernization review.
Pending city council approval of its $150,000 cost on Feb. 21, the next phase of the review will begin in March, and include facility condition assessments, public consultation and preliminary findings being sent to city council by November. The five pools include Gatchell Pool, Howard Armstrong Recreation Centre, Nickel District, Onaping Pool and R.G. Dow Pool. Combined, they netted 112,617 swimmers in 2022, which is down from their pre-pandemic peak of 194,388 in 2019.
The Howard Armstrong Recreation Centre was built in 1982, and includes a single tank measuring 25 metres long and 15 metres wide. The facility also includes a cardio and weight room, squash courts and indoor walking track. At the latest update following a 2018 building condition assessment, the five-year projected cost is $8.7 million. Gatchell is classified as being in poor condition, HARC is fair/poor, Nickel District is poor, Onaping is poor, and RG Dow is fair/poor. The cost estimates also include capital expenses anticipated for the entirety of the Onaping Community Centre and Howard Armstrong Recreation Centre buildings.
