Looks like it starts tomorrow, so might as well start a thread.

Renders of the project…

MNP Community & Sport Centre Redevelopment

GEC is working with the Lindsay Park Sports Society to redevelop, refresh and expand the MNP Community & Sport Centre in Calgary.

It looks so…. sterile. The whiteness is blinding my eyes. GEC does have a pretty good track record so we’ll see what they do.

I get the expansion, but I really hope they don’t do any significant changes to the already existing west pools. God I love the view out into Lindsay park there. It’s what got me through some morning water polo practices/games.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

I agree, it doesn’t look great.

The west pool won’t have alterations to the views, just the viewing area and updates to the facilities it looks like.

I know some people that work there - the view isn't as great when there's people on the outside standing in the windows looking in at people swimming.....

Construction underway...

Excavation and whatnot.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Pretty far along. I imagine we'll see a crane within the next month or so.

Knowing someone that worked there, the glass also doesn't help the lifeguards at all. But it sure looks nice.

Yeah, the glass might cause some privacy issues. Hope they keep the west pool vibe intact.
