The City is building a new regional multi-use, multi-generational South Winnipeg Recreation Campus (SWRC) to meet the community’s recreation needs. The project will be built in multiple phases, with design work for Phase 1 starting in fall 2022 and construction expected in 2025-2026. Phase 1 includes gymnasiums, multipurpose rooms, indoor walking track and fitness area, a child care centre, and an outdoor spray pad. An addition to Pembina Trails Collegiate (50 Frontier Rd.), that supports vocational programs, will also be constructed as part of Phase 1.
