I'm assuming this is in the Stoney Creek Community Park in Stoney Creek Village?

Apparently construction was to begin in September? Any updates, or better yet, photos?

I just drove by the new recreation centre. It is almost done construction and it looks great. Here are a few pictures. (I just took the pictures as we were driving by so they aren't that great, lol)

I like all the Hamilton signs all over the building. It makes it seem like Stoney Creek is finally accepting that it is a part of Hamilton.

Behind the tree there is the Hamilton "H" symbol and below that it says "Stoney Creek Recreation Centre"...I tried to get it in the picture but it is hard to get a good picture in a moving car...

It looks really good at night too. They have the parking lot lit up really nice and bright unlike before. I'll try to get a picture of that either tonight or maybe by the weekend if I go for a walk down that way. I'll post some more pictures when it gets closer to completion cause I live only a few blocks away so I see it all the time.

I got to take a look during the long weekend and I was very impressed. A good cozy urban design.

All of the landscaping seemed to be done when I drove by last week and it looked great. They've filled all the dividers in the parking lot with plants which is way better then the nothing that was there before. The grass hadn't been layed out yet, but should be soon if it hasn't already since I drove by last week. I'll try to get some pictures within the next few days.

Drove by today on my way to Oakville and got these pictures quick. They are just to show that all of the landscaping and exterior is done.

nice dash.

I think humans have hit the all time low in architectural design. I wonder what architectural historians will call this era? "Shitbox"

Got this picture on the way home from my brother's house today. It is a better angle then the last two pictures.

Drove by on my way home from downtown today and saw people inside swimming so I guess it is open now? I never heard about any grand opening day but I have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks so it probably happened then I guess.

I said I would get a picture of it at night so here it is. You can see the new playground on the right side of the picture.
