Milton Sports Centre Expansion

Miltonions have access to a lot of indoor skating rinks, which is truly great.  Milton Sports Centre itself has two rinks.  My children use them and I am glad we have such a great facility so close to us.

Milton Sports Centre is planning a future phase which will add two more ice rinks and an indoor swimming pool, among other amenities.

Here’s the thing: Milton already has a lot of ice rinks.  Growing population will need more, but what about other sports?  Indoor basketball or volleyball courts?  Squash Courts?  Racquet ball?  Public tennis courts?  This expansion will millions upon millions of dollars, shouldn’t that add a diversity of activities? 

Unfortunately the deadline for sending comments on the expansion is gone (I did manage to get mine in on time), but if you agree that Milton needs more diversity of physical activities then you should write to recreation by clicking here.  I would love to have access to Squash courts, there are none in Milton. Multiple studies have found squash to be among the best workouts.  I hope they build a few squash courts as part of the expansion.

Correction: I am told that Milton certainly doesn’t have enough ice rinks.  I stand corrected.  However, my point remains the same.  Click the link above and write to the planners so they can take your input into account.  Also, I would very much like to see a diversity of options offered to residents in the town.
