Construction is underway on the new $71.8 million Belmont Fieldhouse and Library in Calgary.

Anticipated to open in 2027, the project will feature a new Calgary Public Library and an indoor multi-sport recreation space operated by the City of Calgary. The facility is designed to become a vibrant focal point of year-round activity in the community.

“As our city expands and continues to welcome new Calgarians, the need for additional library and recreation spaces has reached a critical point,” said Mayor Jyoti Gondek. “The Belmont Fieldhouse and Library reflects our commitment to building vibrant, inclusive communities for all Calgarians.”

Belmont Fieldhouse will span approximately 118,000 square feet and feature a multi-sport artificial turf field, field viewing areas, dressing rooms, washrooms and administrative space. The adjacent 10,000-square-foot public library will include a children’s area, collections shelving, open seating, public meeting rooms and an outdoor learning space. Together, the new facility will create a dynamic hub for recreation, learning and community connection.

In 2021, city council approved investments in underserved areas to address gaps in recreation infrastructure. As part of this strategy, funding was allocated for a multi-use fieldhouse in the Belmont community, one of several projects aimed at increasing access to year-round recreation and social spaces across Calgary.

“We are excited to design and build a facility on behalf of The City and Calgary Public Library that will serve sporting and community needs in southern Calgary,” said Kerensa Swanson Fromherz, director of public spaces delivery. “We envision Belmont Fieldhouse and Library to be a place where people can gather year-round to play, practice, socialize and build strong community connections.”
