Open Houses for Valley East Twin Pad Multipurpose Sports Complex

Mar 26, 2019

The City of Greater Sudbury is proposing construction of a new multipurpose sports complex that would include a twin pad arena on municipal property next to the Howard Armstrong Recreation Centre in Hanmer.

The proposed sports complex could feature such up-to-date amenities as larger ice surfaces, additional dressing rooms, more comfortable seating, a running track, multipurpose rooms or an energy-efficient design.

This project has been accepted in concept by Greater Sudbury Council for further consideration and community consultation. Results from the community consultation will form future reports to Council. A budget and timeline for the project have not been approved by Council.

The city is seeking public input on design elements and how the proposed facility could incorporate and enhance adjacent parkland.
