The City of Edmonton will officially open the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre on January 27, 2026. The new facility, located in central-north Edmonton, will serve as a major community and recreational hub, featuring a range of sports and fitness amenities for residents and athletes.
Construction of the centre began in the spring of 2022, and despite the challenges of a large-scale project, it remains under budget and ahead of schedule,
The centre will offer a variety of facilities, including fitness centres, a training studio, an indoor running track, and a 250-metre category A indoor cycling track. It will also integrate the recently rehabilitated Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre, which includes a 50-metre pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and a newly added cold plunge pool.
Additionally, the facility will house a velodrome with seating for up to 940 spectators, managed by the Alberta Velodrome Association, with events hosted in partnership with the World Triathlon Series Edmonton.
Other notable features include: a bouldering wall, ,ulti-purpose courts and an innovative urban court, a dedicated spin studio, an indoor playground and child minding space, and the Canadian Sport Institute office
Brad Badger, director of physical activity and sports centres, emphasized the significance of the facility. “The experiences that this facility offers will draw in people from the local north central area, across the city, the province and beyond, ” he said. “This facility demonstrates that Edmonton is a premier fitness and training destination for the community, triathletes and cyclists.”
With the integration of the Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre, the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre will become the first indoor triathlon training facility in North America that supports year-round training and events, offering a pool, running track, and cycling track in one location.
