Kyle Centre Redevelopment: Provide feedback on recommended conceptual design for proposed new community centre, plaza, and expanded park
The City of Port Moody is planning for the redevelopment of the Kyle Centre area with a proposed new community centre (a replacement for the existing Kyle Centre at 125 Kyle Street), plaza, and expanded Kyle Park. Pending future funding, the project is expected to proceed in four phases: conceptual design, detailed design, construction of the community centre and plaza, and construction of the expanded park. As part of Round 2 public engagement, we’re sharing the recommended conceptual design and we want to know what you think. Visit engage.portmoody.ca to learn more and provide your feedback.
What is a conceptual design? It communicates a project’s overall layout, direction, and big ideas, and identifies what spaces are needed for different programs and activities. It also shows how different elements – in this case, the community centre, plaza, and park – are connected.
In Round 1 (September/October 2025), we asked the community and current Kyle Centre user groups to tell us about the types of activities and experiences they’d like to see in the proposed new spaces. We received valuable input that helped shape the design we’re sharing with you today. Your feedback in Round 2 will help us fine-tune the recommended conceptual design before it’s presented to City Council for their consideration later this year. Community input will be considered alongside technical information, input from subject matter experts, strategic priorities, and other City plans or strategy documents.
Here’s how you can get involved:

Project background
The existing Kyle Centre, located in an evolving neighbourhood, is an 11,000-square-foot-building that’s nearing the end of its useful life. Recreational needs and trends have changed over the years, and Port Moody’s population is growing. Council has determined that a new, larger community centre and additional park space are needed to serve residents in Moody Centre and the broader community. Please note the addition of aquatic facilities and arena surfaces is not under consideration for the proposed new community centre.
Project cost
Due to a variety of factors such as inflation, rising construction costs associated with supplies, equipment, and labour, and unique site conditions, it’s too early in the life of the project to provide a meaningful budget estimate. After Council has considered the recommended conceptual design, City staff will seek approval to proceed to Phase 2 (detailed design). Near the end of that phase, when construction costs can be more accurately estimated, a recommended funding strategy will be brought forward for Council’s consideration.
Planning for the future
The City originally planned to design a 30,000-square-foot building for the proposed new community centre. After hearing from the community and Kyle Centre user groups during Round 1 public engagement, and after further consideration of the impacts of future growth, we are now proposing a building that’s 39,000 square feet to better meet the needs of current users and Port Moody’s growing population over the next 25 years.
