The City of Edmonton is excited to open Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre in January 2026. This large recreation centre will be a community and social hub for central-north Edmonton, serving the recreational needs of the community. Its partnership with the Alberta Velodrome Association (AVA) and World Triathlon Series Edmonton will create opportunities for year-round triathlon and cycling training and events.

Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre will open ahead of schedule on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, with a grand opening celebration to follow on the weekend (date and time to be determined). The facility integrates the newly rehabilitated Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre with the velodrome, managed by the Alberta Velodrome Association, which opened mid-October 2025 for their programming.

  • Fitness centres
  • Training studio

  • 250-metre Category A indoor cycling track

"We can’t wait to open our newest recreation centre in the city,” said Brad Badger, Director, Physical Activity and Sports Centres. “The experiences that this facility offers will draw in people from the local north central area, across the city, the province and beyond. This facility demonstrates that Edmonton is a premier fitness and training destination for the community, triathletes and cyclists.”

With the integration of Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre, Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre becomes the first indoor triathlon training facility in North America to support year-round training and events with a pool, running and cycling track all in one location, showcasing Edmonton’s commitment to sports excellence.

The project design was completed in 2021 and construction started in spring 2022. Construction remains under budget and ahead of schedule. More information regarding January’s opening will be available closer to the date.

From November 25 to December 2, Edmontonians can take advantage of the Recreation Centres’ Black Friday promotion. Memberships and passes purchased during this period will be valid at Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre when the facility opens to the public, excluding expired products such as a single monthly pass.
