COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community Engagement Phase 1
In January and February 2021, we sought feedback from the community on our proposed activity hub. We received over 300 responses and a summary of the responses are below:

Summary
The most listed activities were skating related, with 146 people saying skating/skate and 53 people specifically mentioning hockey.
Some mentioned a separate skating track.
​
While many people mentioned soccer and baseball, we must mention that the soccer fields and baseball diamond at the site are city owned/maintained and not part of the proposed activity hub. They remain a valuable piece of infrastructure in our community and will not be affected by the Outdoor Activity Hub development.
​
Tennis was also mentioned by many residents. CHPH already has City-Owned Tennis Courts within its boundaries. The twin courts are located at 5804 Patina Drive SW and were upgraded in 2020 to include Pickleball lines, making them multi-purpose.
​
While not noted in the first round of feedback, it is a priority for the CA to have this space be accessible for all users regardless of mobility, so a priority will be including pathways leading through the space.
Community Engagement Phase 2
