It's designed to be a centralized training hub accessible to athletes and the general public.
There is a full running track and field for athletics events; basketball/volleyball/badminton courts, convertible gymnasiums, and weight/training rooms.
Calgary doesn't have a dedicated place like this to house all of these sports yet. Current, midhmashed fascilities are inadequate. And, especially for track and field athletes, they'll have the benefit of finally being able to train year round without having to go to the southern US at deep cost.
So it's about giving people a place to train without having to leave or give up.
