Health-and-wellness cornerstone

Lake Country Co-op Leisure Centre in Prince Albert

Designed for residents of all ages and abilities, the Lake Country Co-op Leisure Centre features community gathering spaces, two NHL-sized ice rinks, and an expansive aquatics facil­ity. Supporting the city’s strong hockey culture, the rinks provide seating for more than 900 spectators. The 51,000-square foot (4,740 m²) aquatics centre includes an eight-lane competition pool, wave pool, and therapy pool, and is designed to accommodate ­recreational, competitive, and instructional programming.

With a regional population of 200,000 citizens, Prince Albert is a growing city and Saskatchewan’s ‘Gateway to the North’. Located in the city’s southeast quadrant, this new recreation centre serves adjacent established neighbourhoods but is also the health-and-wellness cornerstone of a new planned community district.

Prince Albert is situated within a unique ecological ecotone – a transitional zone between the southern Prairie Grassland, the central Aspen Parkland, and the northern Boreal Forest. This distinctive setting supports a rich blend of ecosystems, where prairie grasses, coniferous species, and clusters of aspen, poplar, and spruce coexist.
