Ravensong Aquatic Centre Expansion Project
The RDN Recreation Services Master Plan for District 69 (Oceanside) was approved by the RDN Board in May 2018, as a guiding document.
One of the key recommendations from the 2018 Master Plan is the exploration of expanding services/spaces provided at the Ravensong Aquatic Centre. Work on the concept and design planning project has already begun.
This project will include capital and operating cost estimates, a funding resource assessment, as well as a review of past expansion concept designs, parameters and priorities. The project will incorporate feedback from residents, user groups and elected officials.
