Future Plans

Badminton Alberta together with the support of the Badminton Alberta Foundation, Badminton Calgary and other support agencies are interested in constructing a multi-purpose gymnasium, that will serve the needs of badminton players in the Calgary and surrounding area, for years to come.

A portion of the building will be adaptable to accommodate other sports and lifestyle activities.

We are confident the proposed recreation facility will complement the immediate community of Coachhill / Patterson Heights and surrounding communities of Strathcona, Wildwood, Courgar Ridge/West Springs, etc.

We look forward to sharing our vision with you at an upcoming Open House, time and date to be determined.
