North Park Arena Needs a Name

The Town of Oakville recently launched a contest to name the new arena currently under construction in North Oakville.  This arena is part of a 79 hectare sports park to be built on the west side of Neyagawa, North of Dundas Street.

If you have driven past the area in the last few months there is no doubt you have seen all the construction taking place (it is impossible to miss).  North Park is going to be a phenomenal recreation spot which is expected to be completed in 3 phases.

Phase 1 is expected to be finished by Fall 2010 and will include the following:

  • Quad pad arena including a 1,500 seat Olympic-sized ice surface and three NHL-sized ice pads
  • Four soccer fields
  • Cricket pitch
  • Leash-free dog zone
  • BMX/skateboard facility
  • Splash pad
  • Playground
  • Other park amenities

Phase 2, scheduled to begin by 2015 will include:

  • A community centre
  • Library facility

Phase 3, scheduled to begin in 2018, will include:

  • the development of the north parcel of land and will primarily focus on outdoor sports fields and passive areas
It is now your opportunity to get involved and name the new arena!  Between now and January 15, 2010, the town is inviting you to participate in a naming contest.  See details below…
The town invites you to help us name the new state-of-the-art quad pad arena on Neyagawa Boulevard, north of Dundas.

Opening in September 2010, the facility will include a 1,500 seat Olympic-sized ice surface and three NHL-sized ice pads.
