Upgraded Fieldhouses at Genesis Centre by Fall 2023

Genesis Centre Fieldhouse

Genesis Centre’s indoor fieldhouses are getting a facelift this summer!

The Genesis Centre will be undertaking a $500k renovation project in 2023 to upgrade its two fieldhouses in the following ways:

  • New pulastic flooring in Field House 2 that is designed to reduce the risk of injury while providing excellent traction. The flooring in Field House 2 will be comparable to those used in our Community and Feature Gymnasiums.
  • Field House 1 will feature artificial turf for the Fall/Winter seasons (October-March) and a concrete pad for the Spring/Summer Season (April-September).
  • Both fields will feature 8-foot boards, compared to the current 4-foot boards. This will provide more containment for equipment and make for a more enjoyable playing experience. The outer area of the boards will also be made of glass. Thus, creating a quality viewing experience for those enjoying from outside the fieldhouses.

These changes were prompted in part by the necessity for a routine maintenance upgrade, but also because the quality of these fields will be greatly improved. The intention of these changes is to widen the Genesis Centre audience by transforming them into spaces that can host more sport and recreational opportunities than before. The changes will create space for new activities to take place at Genesis Centre, such as field hockey, lacrosse, and cricket.
