The Town of Oakville is inviting residents to celebrate a major community milestone at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex Opening Celebration on Saturday, May 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free, family-friendly event marks the expansion of a vibrant, community hub that brings parks, recreation, culture and learning together in one place.

The expanded complex features a newly opened 65,000 square-foot community centre, featuring a fitness centre, gymnasium and a variety of program spaces. Aquatic facilities are scheduled to open in summer 2026.

Designed to support active living and outdoor play, the site features a playground, bike pump track, all-wheel park, outdoor fitness station, cricket and sports fields, and a dog park. Additional park amenities will open in summer 2026, including fully accessible outdoor courts for basketball, pickleball, tennis and beach volleyball. Together, these amenities enhance the parks and recreation experience for residents of all ages and abilities.

Members of Council will be joined by community partners for opening remarks at 11 a.m., followed by a full day of free activities.
