Future Community Recreation Centre Survey Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.

Help Shape the Future of Recreation in Our Community!

An engineering study commissioned in 2026 has identified that the current sports palace is 70 years old, nearing the end of its lifecycle and that short-term fixes will continue to significantly increase operating and maintenance expenses. Continuing to invest in the current structure may not be a sustainable long-term solution.

The 2026 Regional Economic Development Plan stated that “…recreation related services offer opportunities to grow year-round economic activity while reinforcing quality of life and downtown vitality in the Town of High Prairie.” A new or rejuvenated facility supports workforce attraction and retention, additional sports tournaments, tourism and increased foot traffic through local businesses, restaurants and grocery stores. This, in turn, enhances community pride and quality of life for all residents inside the Town and through the County.

Through this survey, the Town of High Prairie residents, County residents and our surrounding First Nations and Settlements communities have the opportunity to voice their opinion and determine the future of our area and what we want to achieve.

If we are to compete with Slave Lake and Peace River and become a point of destination for new residents, athletes, visitors and tourists, then a rejuvenated or modern, state-of-the-art recreation centre can be a centerpiece and jewel of the community.

The Town of High Prairie is exploring options for a new recreation centre. Your feedback, young and old, is important to ensure the facility meets the needs of residents now and into the future.

While the future cost of a new recreation facility is not currently known, the source of funding will come from a combination of:
· Federal, Provincial & County grants;
· Capital reserves
· Private donations
· Municipal Tax Revenue (increases in annual municipal tax rates)
· Debt Issue

An architect and engineering firm will provide design and cost options based on the features and amenities the public will want to include. This will then be presented back to the public for your further discussions with Council. From design to completed construction usually takes 7 to 10 years. Council values the feedback you will be providing.
