Community engagement planned for future of Muskoka Lakes arenas

Posted: 2024-05-23 08:10:56 By: thebay

On May 15, Muskoka Lakes Council received the Final Report for the Arena Feasibility Study, detailing background information, site analysis, community needs, and cost-estimated alternatives.

The Bala and Port Carling Arenas, built in the 1970s, require upgrades to address upcoming needs and deficiencies. Community feedback emphasized the desire for new amenities like a walking track, gym, and pool.

Consultants evaluated options including rehabilitating existing facilities or constructing new ones.

The municipality says the findings will be integrated with recommendations from various Master Plans in a Level of Service study to determine future service levels for roads, emergency services, and recreational amenities.

More details on this study and community engagement will follow.
