Problem to solve

Growing Beyond Our Current Limits

For years, the Municipality of Chester has relied on aging infrastructure and community schools to support recreation and active living. Many facilities are reaching the end of their functional life, and our growing population, driven by highway expansions and shifting demographics, is creating new needs for recreation, wellness, and gathering spaces.
The municipality is now exploring the potential for a new multi-purpose recreation facility and is seeking community input to help guide the process. A future facility could support movement, wellness, and connection for people of all ages, creating space for residents to stay active, build relationships, and support their overall well-being.
This is about more than recreation. It’s about strengthening the everyday experience of living here and ensuring our community continues to grow in a way that supports both physical and social wellness.

Community input will help shape the facility. Visit engagechester.ca to get the full details.

Our vision

Room to Move

What a new recreation facility could mean for the Municipality of Chester

Room to Move into a New Life: Our community is growing, and we need a facility that keeps pace. By investing in modern recreation infrastructure, we make the Municipality of Chester a more attractive destination for new residents and young families, ensuring our region remains vibrant for generations to come.

Room to Move up in a Career: Recreation is a cornerstone of economic development. A premier facility gives our local businesses a competitive edge, helping them recruit and retain the workforce they need. From supporting local employers to attracting new investment, this project is a direct investment in our local economy.

Room to Move Closer Together: At its heart, this facility is about connection. We are creating new venues for residents of all ages to meet, play, and lead healthier lives. It’s more than just an ice rink or a walking track; it’s a dedicated space for our community to gather and grow stronger together.
