A long-anticipated sports and recreation centre in Edmonton which recently opened its velodrome to the public is now slated to open fully to the public early in the new year.

Construction began in spring 2022 for the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre on 111 Avenue and 135 Street. The city said it will open to the public on Jan. 27.

In a news release Tuesday, the City of Edmonton said construction had remained on time and its full opening was “ahead of schedule.” The city’s website had previously said the centre was expected to open early 2026.

Cyclists began flocking to the indoor velodrome portion of the recreation centre in October.

The rest of Coronation Park will include fitness and training studios, running and cycling tracks, a bouldering wall, multi-purpose courts and rooms, a spin studio, an indoor playground and a child-minding space.

A Second Cup will also open inside the centre, according to the city.

Next door, the Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre will reopen in tandem with the Coronation centre. The city said both newly revamped facilities make Coronation Park the “first indoor triathlon training facility in North American to support year-round training.”

Memberships and passes purchased ahead of the centre’s opening through the city’s Black Friday sale from Tuesday to Dec. 2 will be valid when the Coronation Park recreation centre is open to the public.
