The City of Winnipeg is looking at building a new recreation centre in southeast Winnipeg to meet the needs of the growing community.

The proposed Bonavista Recreation Centre will include a gymnasium and multipurpose rooms. It would be located in Fraipont Park near the intersection of Evelyne Reese Boulevard and Warde Avenue and would give residents more chances to participate in activities, spend time together, and enjoy the park.
