If they added some poles on those tables they could do some adult only bowling nights.

Some locations have video game arcades, laser tag or mini golf.

Can anyone recommend free indoor locations where gymnastic rings can be hung (basically a beam or post 8-12ft high, ideally multiple height options)? Lower traffic locations preferred.

Lots of outdoor options, but now the weather is not nice.

Not sure if this is new news, but...

Quote:The City is proposing to development Phase 3 of the Schlegel Park in South Kitchener. The development includes a FIFA sized field house natatorium/swimming complex and associated parking private roadways and landscaping.

More swimming facilities is always nice to see.

Furthermore, it seems someone wants to convert the old furniture store at 71 Kingsbury into a hockey school.

Quote:To convert the existing building to a commercial school that will provide on-ice instruction for hockey. Two additions are proposed to the building and the creation of a surface parking lot. Access to the lands is proposed to remain from Kingsbury Drive in two locations: one leading to the larger surface parking area and the second to the front entrance to the building and additional surface parking.

Not a bad idea. They went out of business sometime in 2023, so if someone can utilize the existing space to promote recreational activities that's great.

I would expect improved transit to the location once it is built, since it will attract more people.

A lack of transit at present time doesn't mean the area doesn't deserve recreational facilities. It's a rapidly growing area that will have thousands of people living in new subdivisions and high density condo/apartment blocks. Adding transit routes comes generally comes after you develop an area, not before.

Stuff like this will only help to improve transit by offering new residents a destination to seek transit access to. The more people that move to live and work in the area, the more demand for transit goes up. Keep in mind the population projections for our region. In the next 2 decades, we're likely going to have close to a million people living here. Areas like this will slowly improve, but it takes time.

Route 33 does run every 30 mins, 7 days a week. With a connection to both Blockline Station and the Sunrise Centre Terminal.
Proposed route 101 also will be serving this area.
