Renovation and expansion.
The new and improved Wayne Gretzky Centre will help to:
- promote active and healthy lifestyles for community residents
- attract tourists and visitors to Brantford and the surrounding area.
The renovations of the facility happened in two phases:
- Phase One: The centre was expanded with the addition of a 25-metre pool, a dry land training area, storage space, an office space for local clubs, and wellness and sports medicine facilities.
- Phase Two: Involved demolishing three aging arenas and constructing a new four-pad arena complex that includes a multi-purpose gym, common spaces, food service areas, a pro shop, and sports offices.
It is estimated that over one million people will participate annually in social, recreational and athletic pursuits in the centre’s arenas, pools, and fitness facilities.
