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.
