HERON PARK REBORN 2001

Originally built in the 1950's, on the site of the current Morningside Library, the Heron Park Community Centre served the West Hill community for half a century. But the building had aged and the population it was designed to serve had blossomed beyond belief. And the parking lot was always inadequate to its needs. As West hill entered a new Millenium, it was time for a new beginning.

Ground was broken for the $4,000,000 project in the year 2000. The new modern Community Centre would now front the twin skating rinks and be better intergrated into the Heron Park Site. The new Centre would revitalize the area and provide opportunity for more varied uses and events.

By 2001 the work neared completion and a new heart for the West Hill Community prepared to open its doors. By September the new building was open and the old Community Centre was demolished. A new era in West Hill had begun.

The beautiful new building is now extremely busy and the focal point of West Hill's recreational activities.The parking lot is, once again, inadequate to its needs.
