Recommended conceptual design: proposed site plan

The project plan proposes a new community centre and the closure of a section of Kyle Street, reimagined as a pedestrian area with terraces and seating. Kyle Park would be expanded north on three parcels of City-owned land (two purchased recently, in 2024).

Highlights:

• The proposed new community centre maintains a connection to PoMoArts via an open plaza.
• The new plaza space connects to terraces and continues into the expanded Kyle Park.
• The plaza allows space for community events, social gatherings, and opportunities for rest and play.

We originally proposed a 30,000-square-foot building to replace the existing 11,000-square-foot facility. After hearing from the community and Kyle Centre user groups in Round 1, and after further consideration of the impacts of future growth, we are proposing a 39,000-square-foot building to better meet the needs of current users and Port Moody’s growing population over the next 25 years.
