These play structures challenge the most active children while also providing enclosed areas for quiet and creative play.
The addition of this inclusive area will enable the Town of Olds to provide social infrastructure that will contribute to healthy, safe, and inclusive outcomes.
Update, April 26, 2023: Construction on the playground starts in the first week of May. The area will be fenced off. Please keep out of the construction area. The playground is expected to be ready for use by the end of June, weather permitting.
Centennial Park
Permanent Outdoor Ice Rink & Pickle Ball Court Combination
Centennial Park will see the construction of a permanent outdoor rink to the east of the Skateboard park in the old horseshoe pits location.
The rink will be complete with players’ boxes, permanent boards, lighting, and a concrete base which will be lined for Pickle Ball for the off season.
Plans are to have the permanent rink completed in late fall of 2022.
