Recreation Facilities Study

Help us shape the future of recreation facilities in Port Moody!

Municipal recreation facilities are an important part of our community – they promote physical activity, mental wellness, lifelong learning, and social connection in spaces where everyone is welcome. They can be indoor or outdoor facilities. They can encompass a wide variety of options such as gymnasiums, fitness equipment, sport fields/courts/boxes, arenas, ball diamonds, pools, studios or workshops, walking/running tracks, social spaces, and much more.

As demand grows for recreation opportunities in Port Moody, and our existing facilities age, we’re exploring what kinds of facilities and spaces may be needed in the future.

We want to hear your voice! How do you use existing recreation facilities? Do you experience any barriers when accessing facilities or programs? What types of recreation spaces would you like to see in Port Moody?

Your input, along with technical information and advice provided by subject matter experts, will inform the development of a recreation facilities study.

The study will:

• assess the current state of existing recreation facilities in Port Moody;
• consider options for existing facilities (upgrades and/or expansion) and new facilities, subject to available funding; and
• build on the recommendations from the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2015) and feed into the new Parks and Recreation Master Plan (coming in 2025).

This study is intended to assist with future decision-making related to recreation facilities and will be presented to City Council for their consideration in early 2025. Council will also receive a summary of the public engagement results.
