The City of Pickering is working to design the new Seaton Recreation Complex & Library, to help meet both the immediate and future needs of Pickering's growing community.
The new facility will be located at the re-aligned Whitevale Road (future Alexander Knox) & Sideline 24 (future Burkholder Drive).
The Seaton Recreation Complex & Full-Service Library will be Pickering’s first multipurpose recreation complex built in Pickering since the Pickering Recreation Complex (now the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex) opened in 1983.
Amenities include:
1. Aquatics Centre (with 25-metre, 6-8 lane pool and separate warm water tank) 2. Gymnasium (divisible) 3. Fitness Centre and Studios 4. Library (with full access to print and digital resources, printing and computer services, and work/study spaces) 5. Multi-purpose Program Rooms (various) 6. Arena (2 pads) 7. Walking Track 8. Support Spaces (e.g., lobby, change rooms, office space, storage) 9. Outdoor Spaces (e.g., destination playground, splash pad, sport courts)
The final amenities and functional programs will be guided by the City's Recreation & Parks - Ten Year Plan, the Pickering Public Library's Strategic Plan, and most importantly, community consultation.
