Stouffville Sun-Tribune www.yorkregion.com Saturday, June 9, 2012, 10 Pool would be added to leisure centre in final phase of Memorial Park From page 1. It is expected to be located west of the current indoor pool as an addition to the Lebovic Leisure Centre. This means the second indoor pool slated for construction between 2015 and 2017 beside the Stouffville Clippers Sports Complex on Weldon Road will be shelved. This new pool also replaces the current outdoor pool in Memorial Park that is currently in the process of being decommissioned. The double-bay gym town staff slated for construction at the leisure centre in 2018/19 will now be added to the Clippers Complex, according to Mr. Raycroft's report to council this week on the updated Memorial Park master plan. While it seems that just about every activity imaginable will be available in Memorial Park once it's completed, the one thing it won't have is tennis. The park's two courts were removed last year because they were at the end of their operating life and the space was needed to expand the lawn bowling green. The updated master plan calls for the three tennis courts beside the Stouffville Arena on Ninth Line to be upgraded and resurfaced. "It is staff's opinion that creating a tennis court cluster of high quality, similar to that recently completed in Ballantrae, will better serve the interests of both the recreational and competitive player," Mr. Raycroft wrote. The double-bay gym town staff slated for construction at the leisure centre in 2018/19 will now be added to the Clippers Complex... As part of the park's master plan, Burkholder Street between the Lebovic Leisure Centre/Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library access driveway and Park Drive will be closed to vehicular traffic through Memorial Park on weekends between May and September as well as during special events. The town's current 10-year capital forecast includes a park budget of about $12.7 million. The updated plan has a budget of around $14 million. A report will come to council June 19 with new and potential capital funding sources for the park.
