Padel Association of Canada is working with local stakeholders and interested parties to locate an acceptable site for the new Foothills Racquet and Fitness Centre.
Discussions are underway with local stakeholders to build a public access sports, leisure, recreation and fitness centre in the MD of Foothills area.
Please take a few minutes to learn about the proposed Sports and Rec Centre and complete the user questionnaire which is intended to measure the demand, interest and support this centre would receive from the local communities.
The Sports and Rec Centre will be designed as a multi-purpose, sports, recreation, fitness, and leisure centre.
 According to a recent feasibility study commissioned by the Municipal District of Foothills, ‘The Foothills Regional Field House Feasibility Study’ it was determined that the Aldersyde area would be the optimum site location for a facility of this type.
Although a site location has not been designated the goal is to build a facility in the nearby area.

Thank you.
