After more than a decade of planning, fundraising, and construction, Martensville’s new state-of-the-art recreation centre is finally opening its doors to the public, and the city is celebrating the achievement.
“By the looks on people’s faces, you can tell they are pretty excited. Then you see the facility—it’s pretty overwhelming. You realize this is actually an incredible accomplishment,” Mayor Kent Muench said.
The facility boasts a hockey arena, a miniature skating rink, a lounge, and a food court, as well as a rock climbing wall. However, it isn’t entirely complete yet, as an indoor soccer pitch is still under construction and expected to be finished by January.
“On the fieldhouse side, we’ll have a full-sized indoor soccer pitch that will be split into four. We will be hosting soccer, football, baseball, softball, lacrosse. It truly is a community facility,” said Roxane Melnyk, director of recreation for the City of Martensville.
