Help us shape the future of recreation facilities in Port Moody – provide your input by Oct. 14
As demand grows for recreation opportunities in Port Moody, and our existing facilities age, we’re exploring what kinds of facilities and spaces may be needed in the years ahead. We need your input! Help us shape the future of recreation facilities in Port Moody. Visit engage.portmoody.ca to learn more and share your thoughts with us.
Municipal recreation facilities are an important part of our community – they promote physical activity, mental wellness, lifelong learning, and social connection in spaces where everyone is welcome. They can be indoor or outdoor facilities. They can encompass a wide variety of options such as gymnasiums, fitness equipment, sports fields/courts/boxes, arenas, ball diamonds, pools, studios or workshops, walking/running tracks, social spaces, and much more.
How do you use existing recreation facilities? Do you experience any barriers when accessing facilities or programs? What types of recreation spaces would you like to see in Port Moody? We want to hear your voice!
Here’s how you can get involved:
Community survey
Visit our online public engagement hub, Engage Port Moody, to fill out our community survey by October 14, 2024. If you prefer, you can fill out a paper survey – pick one up at City Hall (100 Newport Drive) during business hours and return your completed form to the same location by October 11, 2024.
Sounding Board panels
Share your thoughts by writing on one of our Sounding Board panels. These display boards can be found indoors at the Civic Centre Galleria (100 Newport Drive), Recreation Complex (300 Ioco Road), and Kyle Centre (125 Kyle Street). Grab a marker and offer your input on the spot.
Your input, along with technical information and advice provided by subject matter experts, will inform the development of a recreation facilities study.
The study will:
- assess the current state of existing recreation facilities in Port Moody
- consider options for existing facilities (upgrades and/or expansion) and new facilities, subject to available funding
- build on the recommendations from the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2015) and feed into the new Parks and Recreation Master Plan (coming in 2025).
This study is intended to assist with future decision-making related to recreation facilities and will be presented to City Council for their consideration in early 2025. Council will also receive a summary of the public engagement results.
