Washroom Renovations
Project Status: Design Phase
Estimated Budget: $400,000
Expected Completion: End of 2025
As part of our commitment to accessibility and improving community facilities, renovations are planned for the washrooms at Shallow Lake Arena and the ball diamond park in 2025.
Shallow Lake Arena Washrooms
The existing ground floor washrooms in the foyer will be reconfigured into a gender-neutral space, with improved accessibility features. The former referee changing room—already updated for accessibility—will be transformed into a fully accessible washroom and change area, complete with a shower and adult changing table.
Seasonal Ball Diamond Washrooms
The washroom block serving the ball diamond and park users will be modernized and converted into accessible, gender-neutral facilities. Infant change tables will also be added. These washrooms will remain seasonal, and if budget allows, the exterior of the building will be refreshed.
