Any new facility needs to support box lacrosse as well as hockey, floor hockey etc.

As our City attracts more families to live in New Westminster, we need to be planning to ensure we have the amenities to support this growth. It is also important to strike a balance between building amenities and protecting nature which I believe this proposal does.

You look at every other city around us and they have all upgraded/or are in the process of upgrading their sports facilities (Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, along with Port Coquitlam currently renovating).

1. Rebuild Arenex as part of a new Canada Games Pool/ Centennial Community Centre Complex.
2. Twin Queen's Park Arena with 2nd Rink
This arrangement will result in a much more efficient and effective recreation/pool facility, will provide a 3rd rink for the city, in addition it will not lead to a net loss of green space in Queen's Park

It would be great to add another rink in New West not just for the growing registration numbers, but also to help attract more kids to play hockey and lacrosse. New Westminster is known for it's great facilities and sports programs for kids. Adding another arena would enhance both of these aspects.

Both Hockey & Lacrosse would benefit, as would ringette. It would create room for figure skating and power skating as well.

Way way overdue. While we are at it we should rebuild Moody Box and put a roof over it too!

Having another Arena in New Westminster is long overdue and will not only benefit the growing community but help attract more young hockey and lacrosse players in the coming years.

As a resident of New West, and father to a 3.5 year old, I would love to see more opportunity for him and future friends and classmates to get out and be active here.

We need more ice. Even the half sheets of ice that so the H1-H4 can learn how to play hockey, instead of cross-ice.

New West bred Justin Morneau and other baseball stars, and is practically the lacrosse capital of Canada. More important, this is an opportunity to promote active living and community engagement in one of the great little cities of Western Canada. What's not to like about this idea?

In addition to supporting an additional arena, our city is in need of a complete overhaul of ALL sporting facilities, and action to remedy the lack of space for all athletic programs is needed immediately, this is has been in the discussion phase for far too long - it is time for action. The city has taken significant action to increase density, and therefore needs to respond to this by increasing the services, and space for facilities that offer these services, to this incredibly fast growing community.

Arenas build communities. They are a safe and healthy place to gather for all ages, cultures and genders.
