I wonder if you could add twin rinks to Kinsmen to really make it a full-rec/sports centre.

Looks like recommendation 8 had a twin arena replacing Coronation which does not appear to be happening. Also recommendation 3 looked at a twin arena replacement of Oliver and Westwood which arguably was replaced by only 1 surface in the downtown community rink.

I recall one iteration with a new double rink. Was that not moved forward?

But yes, to your point, it's sad to see this trend and policy direction. How about reinvestment and replacement of high quality rec in mature neighbourhoods.

There's no rink in the current development, and none in the future plans on site that I am aware of. The only double-rink I can recall for Coronation was part of the City's 10-year arena development guide from back in 2009. This also included a new double rink at Rollie Mills, but I'd imagine this is quite outdated and doesn't reflect current plans anymore: https://www.edmonton.ca/public-files/assets/document?path=PDF/10YearArenaCDBrochureHR3.pdf

Edit: Looks like BASE just beat me to it!

I'm gonna be moving to just a few blocks away from this, which is now getting me really hyped up to see it completed.

Exciting, somewhere in Woodcroft or North Glenora?!
