Proposed Indoor Recreation Facility at South Bowmanville Community Park

The Clarington Council has approved a plan for a new indoor recreation facility to be located at South Bowmanville Community Park. The total project budget is set at $50,000,000, which will be financed through debenture debt with the Region of Durham. The Council has directed staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the architectural and engineering design of the facility. Following the design approval, staff will issue a tender to prequalified general contractors for construction. Additionally, the Council has approved costs for preparing conceptual plans and project budgets, not to exceed $25,000, to be funded from the Community Services Capital Reserve Fund. This decision was made during the General Government Committee meeting held on May 10, 2021, and the matter will be revisited in the fall for further reporting on the project.
