Town of Oakville breaks ground on new recreation and culture complex in north Oakville

On June 27, the Town of Oakville held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction for a new recreation and culture complex in north Oakville.

Mayor Rob Burton, members of Council, and town staff were joined by representatives from Diamond Schmitt Architects, MBTW Group, and Gateman Milloy Inc. to celebrate the milestone that will first see a community park opening in 2023, followed by a community centre and library in 2024.

Located just north of Neyagawa Boulevard and Dundas Street, the expanding community park and outdoor spaces will feature two additional lit sports fields (one with artificial turf), cricket field, skateboard park, bike pump track, splash pad, children’s playground, fieldhouse and washroom facility. The community centre and library will connect to the existing Sixteen Mile Sports Complex and will feature flexible, multi-use spaces offering a variety of programs and services for all ages and abilities.

The Town of Oakville continues to seek public input on preferred recreation, culture, and library programs and services planned for the future community centre and library in north Oakville. Residents are invited to take the short online survey by July 18 for a chance to win a Town of Oakville prize pack.

The online survey will take about five minutes to complete and will remain strictly confidential and anonymous. Residents will have the option to provide an email address if they would like to a chance to win a prize pack and receive updates on plans for the new community centre and library coming to north Oakville in 2024.

“Council and I are excited that the next phase of the community park portion of the future community centre, library, and park in north Oakville is beginning and that residents will be able to enjoy the outdoor spaces next year. We remain committed to delivering the programs, services, and facilities that residents need to live, play and work.”
