Wellness Areas

Planned Improvements

In response to public comments and a review of trends in recreational facilities, the revised Phase 1 Plan, adopted by the SRD board in April 2018, contains the following improvements:

Creation of a new wellness area that will allow space for physiotherapy and rehabilitative services
Moving the fitness centre adjacent to the wellness centre on the first floor
Expanding aquatic, wellness and fitness programming
Improved accessibility to the facility
Enlarged universal fitness change rooms
Additional multi-purpose rooms including a wet room for birthday parties and training
Better storage areas to accommodate additional programming

The wellness areas in Strathcona Gardens currently include a fitness studio and weight room. As the population ages and with disease such as obesity on the rise, there is growing recognition of the need for recreation facilities to support community health and well-being. Recreation activities support a healthy active lifestyle and help to prevent chronic disease.
