SUMMARY 3
The Town of Chestermere is a community that likes to celebrate, and frequently sports and
recreation are the reason for the celebration. This was evident in the huge turnout when the 2010
Winter Olympics Torch Relay passed through Chestermere. Marla Forth carried the torch through
Chestermere as the Town played host to day 82 of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Torch Relay.
4 SUMMARY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Chestermere is an enviable active lifestyle community built around the community’s largest
recreational amenity – the lake. No matter the season, the lake is actively used for a range of
activities and surrounding park areas the site of annual community celebrations. Other recreation
amenities include a network of over 27 km of pathways and a variety of fields for soccer,
baseball and other outdoor activities. The Town also has two special use parks currently under
construction: a state of the art family bike park, and the relocated and enhanced skateboard park.
An array of organizations, private businesses, the Chestermere Regional Community Association,
schools and fundraising events, provide a variety of opportunities for recreation activities in the
community. However, residents desire more. In the 2012 Town Survey 63% of respondents
told us that increasing the number of recreation facilities would further increase the already high
community quality of life in Chestermere. There was 76% who said they support developing
public recreation facilities and amenities.
Among the fastest growing population in Alberta, Chestermere’s aspirations to become known
for the excellence of its recreation facilities requires vision and long term planning. The Master
Recreation Plan, 2014, is an important, necessary step toward making Council’s and residents’
vision a reality. The Plan contains information on trends relevant to the Town’s development of
recreation facilities and amenities, how Chestermere’s recreation inventory compares with other
communities, priorities for development, recommendations, and a suggested implementation plan.
This document provides a Summary of the Master Recreation Plan, 2014, focusing on the
recommendations.
2.0 GOALS
Three goals are addressed in the Master Recreation Plan 2014. These are based on based on
specific identified priorities.
1) Having the first phase of a multiplex underway by the time the population reaches 23,000.
2) Increasing connectivity of existing pathways, expanding the pathways system, and the
development of related amenities.
3) Maintaining the vision of the Municipal Development Plan with regard to future park and
outdoor space development in the annexed lands and continuing to increase the town’s
inventory of outdoor amenities.
SUMMARY 5
3.0 TRENDS AFFECTING DEVELOPMENT OF
RECREATION AMENITIES
Demographic Trends
• Planning needs to be based on a projected population of 78,000-100,000 at full buildout of the community (based on 5-7 households/acre).
• While addressing the recreation needs of families will remain a priority, increased
attention will need to be given to the needs of the “Baby Boomer” generation
(individuals born between 1947-1964).
• The recreation needs and preferences of Chestermere’s high numbers of immigrant
residents should be considered in planning.
Employment Trends
• The percentage of employed residents who work outside of the community continues
to be very high (86% in 2013). In order for a multi-use recreation facility, a multiplex,
to be operationally sustainable, i.e. where revenue covers the costs of operating the
facility, these residents will need to be encouraged to utilize the recreation options in
Chestermere, rather than the community where they are employed.
Behavioural Trends
• Obesity and inactivity are health issues affecting all ages. Travelling time to recreation
facilities and amenities, as well as a general shortage of free time, affects people’s
desire and ability to participate in recreation activities. A multiplex would make it
easier for families and individuals to increase their activity levels.
Recreation Development Trends in Alberta and Canada
• Multi-use recreation facilities are becoming the norm, rather than stand-alone facilities,
with amenities configured to meet the unique needs of a community.
• Planning for operational sustainability and lifecycle management (maintenance and
replacement costs) is a key principle in the design process for multi-use recreation
facilities.
• There are increased user expectations for specialized recreation activities.
• Facilities created for multi-generational use are becoming more desirable than standalone, age-based facilities like seniors/youth centers.
• Communities are showing great creativity and developing new partnerships to
secure the funding needed to build multi-use recreation facilities and other recreation
amenities.
6 SUMMARY
4.0 POPULATION BENCHMARKS FOR
RECREATION FACILITIES
For comparison purposes, Alberta communities were selected that are similar to Chestermere,
with regard to being located in close proximity to a major urban centre, have a population of
more than 13,000, and are continuing to grow. Median population benchmarks for developing
recreation facilities were calculated for the facilities identified as priorities by Chestermere
residents. Findings were that Chestermere, with a population of 15,762 (2013 Municipal Census)
is:
1. Approaching the benchmark population of 20,1117 for development of an indoor pool.
2. Past the benchmark for having a field house (15,882).
3. On par with the numbers of sheets of curling ice and arenas in other communities.
(4 sheets of curling ice for each 15,584 residents, and one ice arena for every 9,426
residents).
4. Currently under-resourced with regard to the recreation facilities typically found in a
community of this size. With the Town’s vision of becoming a recreation and leisure oasis
for residents, priority needs to be given to addressing these deficits, creating facilities that
will inspire pride in residents.
Caution must be applied when using these benchmarks, as they do not take into account factors
such as a community’s unique situation with regard to the importance of a certain sport, or to
being able to build and financially sustain a facility.
5.0 RESIDENTS’ RECREATION PRIORITIES
When asked to prioritize facilities according to their households’ anticipated frequency of use,
residents’ top 5 priorities were:
1. Aquatics centre
2. Indoor ice arena
3. Outdoor spray park
4. Field House
5. Fitness Centre
Development of an aquatics centre was far in the forefront, in terms of the priority given to it
by residents, with negligible differences in the priority given to the remaining top five prioritized
facilities.
SUMMARY 7
6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations have been grouped into the three following sections. Each section
presents an area of specific recreation need and represents the top priorities identified for the
Town and its existing, as well as future residents.
1. Develop a Multiplex
A strong desire for a multiplex in Chestermere, with an aquatics centre as the anchor
facility, came across clearly in all the forms of community consultation. It is important that
as this facility is planned that it is done with an eye for the future. Being aware of operating
costs, the lifecycle of the building and maintenance requirements as well as future
clientele’s needs will be critical to the facilities success.
2. Establish a Continuous Multi-Use Pathway System
As Chestermere continues to grow, our pathways provide not only a recreation amenity
but an alternative mode to get around town. The depth and breadth of information about
Town pathways at the April 2013 Open House showed that they are an important amenity
to residents. Although there are many quality pathways within the Town, there is room to
improve the Pathway infrastructure needs to be maintained and enhanced; making sure
existing and new pathways are connected and accessible.
3. Maintain and Expand the Town’s Outdoor Spaces and Amenities
While there is limited space on existing Town-owned land for further outdoor recreation
amenities, opportunities will arise as the Town grows making it important to identify amenity
priorities and funding sources. Outdoor amenities identified as desirable by residents such
as playgrounds, spray parks, dog parks, and picnic areas are considered in the Master
Recreation Plan.
8 SUMMARY
6.1 Develop a Multiplex
Goal: Development of a multiplex that will be operationally sustainable.
Recommendations
Secure Land for a Multiplex and Amenities
The Town’s Development Services is to continue working with developers to secure a site of
40-60 acres in the annexed lands, appropriately located, on which to build a Multiplex, with
associated outdoor amenities.
Establish a Qualified Committee to Plan, Fundraise and Possibly Operate a New Multiplex
The Committee will have the required skill set needed to be the driving force moving ahead the
development of the Multiplex.
a. Recommended Relationship of the Committee to the Town:
The committee would be governed by the Town Committee Guidelines, working under
the Town for a period of time, until it has the capacity to become independent. A Terms
of Reference will be developed and the Town will support the committee in its work with
resources.
b. Mandate of the Committee:
• Explore financial feasibility - Work with a consultant to prepare a business plan and
examine the financial feasibility of various options.
• Design - Determine the combination of facilities in the multiplex that will meet the
needs of the community and be financial sustainable.
• Fundraise - Determine financial strategy for project and implement accordingly.
• Operate - The committee will either evolve to an independent non-profit organization
to operate the facility, or seek an organization to operate it.
• Partner - The committee will work in partnership with the Town to achieve its
mandate.
c. Resources that will be required:
i. Internal resources such as staff resources will evolve as the project progresses and the
Town will need to adjust support as needed.
ii. External resources will need to be contracted to provide services such as:
• Develop a business plan to confirm financial viability of the facility
• Develop a fundraising plan
• Design the facility
• Project manage the construction
• Construct the facility
The committee may determine other resources are required as the project progresses.
SUMMARY 9
Secure Funding Sources for the Multiplex
The Town has limited finances due to
property taxes being predominantly
residentially based (96% residential
in 2013). Therefore, funds need to
be strategically allocated, based on
requiring efficiencies and planning for
operational sustainability in the long
term.
It is recommended that Town Council declare a moratorium on considering large recreation
capital project proposals until 2015, to ensure that decisions are well informed and that
wise use is made of Town funds, with long term planning in mind. In the meantime, it is
recommended that in addition to the existing contributions to the Chestermere Regional
Recreation Centre, the Town should work towards setting aside funds annually for the new
multiplex facility.
There are a number of funding sources that should be further explored as the committee
begins its work developing a new facility. The main three sources are:
• Town contributions, including funding from the Municipal Sustainability Initiative
(MSI), developer contributions collected under the Public Facilities Fee, and property
taxes.
• Grants from the federal and provincial governments as well as from private sources.
Public grants include the Community Improvement Fund, the New Building Canada
Fund, the P3 Canada Fund and the Gas Tax Fund. Private sources include PublicPrivate-Partnerships (P3s), charitable or not-for-profit organizations (e.g. schools,
libraries, the YMCA, etc...), and setting density bonusing regulations.
• Community funding raised through
general fundraising and sponsorship.
These include resident and corporate
donations, sponsorships, community
service group donations and cooperating
with school boards by sharing facilities.

10 SUMMARY
Town
Contribution
Planning for Efficiencies and Reducing Operational Costs
• A feasibility and business plan needs to be conducted to confirm financial viability of the facility
from its first phase through every step until completion.
• The mix of amenities in the facility should be chosen so that money-making facilities like a
fitness centre can offset money losing facilities that the community wants, like an aquatics
centre.
• Phasing of the new facility should be explored. The first phase should focus on meeting unmet
needs in the community that have been prioritized by residents. This would mean that the first
phase for planning could include an aquatics centre and field house as the core facilities, with
a state of the art fitness centre to help offset operational losses.
• The goal is that the Multiplex will be operationally and life cycle sustainable, i.e. that it will
generate enough revenue to cover the costs of operating it, and that enough money will be
able to be put away in a capital reserve fund to cover maintenance and replacement costs over
time.
• An assessment of the triple bottom line should support decision making, taking into account
financial, social, environmental impacts to the Town and its residents.
• The recreation facility planning committee should develop a comprehensive fundraising
strategy that could include grants, donations, sponsorship options and other timely
opportunities.
• Facilities in neighbouring areas should be taken into account when forecasting demand and
possible usage.
• Planning in conjunction with other organizations such as the school boards and community
associations, could be mutually beneficial and should be further explored.
SUMMARY 11
6.2 Establish a Continuous Multi-Use Pathway System
Goal: Establish a continuous multi-use pathway system connecting neighborhoods to
community facilities, shopping areas, and employment destinations.
Recommendations for Existing Neighbourhoods
Taking residents’ input into account, along with additional staff expertise, costing
considerations, and site visits, the following pathway project in existing neighbourhoods
are recommended.
High Priorities
A. Connect John Peake Park Pathway across the WID canal to the Cove Neighbourhood
Park.
Building a paved pathway across the northern edge of the Lake will connect existing paths
on either side of the WID canal. This provides enhanced recreation opportunities around the
Lake, as well as provides a route across the lake to neighboring residential and commercial
areas.
B. Create a paved pathway From Oakmere Way through to the Town Centre Commercial
Area.
C. Enhance the Altalink pathway north of Windermere Drive.
D. Create a gravel pathway along the Altalink right-a-way south of Windermere Drive to
Oakmere way.
E. Create a paved pathway between #180 and #188 Seagreen Way running from the
Seagreen Way street sidewalk to the pathway running along the pond behind the
residential homes.
F. Connect the pathways running alongside the Altalink Right of Way South of Merganser
Drive down to West Lakeview Close. The short paths will be connected using on-street
separation strategies. A pathway running across Altalink from Lakeview Inlet to the
West Creek community’s pathways will be set with gravel.
Connecting the existing small segments of pathway would compliment
recent pathway upgrades along West Merganser Drive. With enhanced
crosswalks, it provides a safe north-south route through the southern
part of Town and to Chestermere Lake Middle School.

SUMMARY 13
Medium Priorities
G. Extend the East Lakeview Road pathway south to the canal. Create a pathway along
the canal connecting this to the existing WID bridge.
The extension of the pathway on East Lakeview Road will connect to the path
around the southern edge of the lake.
H. Enhance crossing and increase connections across Chestermere Blvd. at
West Chestermere Drive. This should be coordinated with the Chestermere Blvd.
Corridor Plan currently in progress by the Town. At this time it is suggested that a
crosswalk be added closer to the lake connecting Anniversary Park and John Peake
Park.
Improvements for pedestrians along and across Chestermere Blvd. was listed as
the top priority by participants at the Facilities and Amenities Strategic Plan Open
House in April 2013. This has remained a main focus for the Town’s Corridor Study.
I.
Connect the pathway along West Chestermere Drive in front of the existing
Recreation Center to Chestermere Blvd.
J. Enhance the crosswalk crossing West Chestermere Drive from the southern area of
Anniversary Park to the pathway running in front of the Regional Rec Centre.
As Anniversary Park is developed, and activity in the area increases, an enhanced
crosswalk will improve all users’ safety.
K. Connect West Creek Springs to Merganser Drive pathway.

SUMMARY 15
Longer Term Priorities
L. Pave pathway at the South end of the Lake.
Improving pathways around the southern edge of the Lake provides a connection
from the east pathways system to the west. This was one of the top three
priorities listed by participants at the Facilities and Amenities Strategic Plan Open
House in April 2013.
M. Create a pathway on East Lakeview Road between Merganser Drive East and TWP
Rd 241A. This should initially be an on-street pathway identified and separated by road
painting. As the area to the east develops, an off-street separated pathway should
be built along the east side of the road.
N. Create a Commuter Bike Path along Rainbow Road connecting the Western
Headworks pathway running along the canal up to Chestermere Blvd.
The Western Headworks Pathway is a paved multi-use path that runs from
the southern edge of the lake, and West Chestermere Drive, west to the City
of Calgary. It is nine kilometers from the Lake to the City’s border providing a
connection to a wider regional pathway system, including a route to the down
town core. Creating a connection along Rainbow Road will enhance the ability
for residents to bike to and from Calgary.
O. Pave a pathway behind Chestermere Lake Middle School connecting West Lakeview
Point to West Chestermere Drive.

SUMMARY 17
Recommendations for Annexed Lands
The pathway and sidewalk system should be designed to:
• establish convenient and direct pathways within neighborhoods, to community facilities,
commercial areas, and employment destinations.
• promote walking and cycling as an alternative to vehicles within the Town.
• be designed in accordance with the Town’s Municipal Development Plan, Design
Guidelines, Landscape Guidelines, Land Use Bylaw and Engineering Guidelines
standard.
• align with the existing pathway system and connect to regional pathway systems where
appropriate.
• Pathway plans must be included at the Area Structure Plan (ASP) and Outline Plan stages.
• Pathways and picnic areas should be constructed around the wetland areas, which may
be designated as Environmental Reserve at the subdivision stage, with an appropriate
setback.
Intersections
• New pathways should cross as few roads and driveways as possible.
• When a pathway intersects a road, enhanced crossing features should be established.
Safety
• Establish pathway specific design guidelines, including the Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, to ensure pathways provide a safe user
environment.
• Pathways must be designed for barrier-free access with rest areas sized and positioned to
allow for use without impeding adjacent pathway traffic.
An example of distinctive pavers, road markings and lighted signage.
18 SUMMARY
Benches off to the side provide a rest area making the pathway running along the Lake more
comfortable for use by those with diverse needs and abilities.
Signage, Materials, and Maps
• Pedestrian and cycling pathway sign standards should be established complementing the
Land Use Bylaw signage regulations, Landscape Guidelines and the Design Guidelines.
• In high use areas or where pathway width is constrained, ground markers, such as a yellow
center line, should be used.
• Paved pathways are the preferred type and should be used whenever economically feasible.
Cycling
• Establish design standards for on-street
cycling, including bicycle facilities, signage,
and road markings.
• Bicycle parking should be provided in visible
locations near building entrances and
pedestrian walkways without conflicting with
pedestrian circulation.
• Ensure safe and direct pathway access to the
regional pathway running along the Western
Headworks canal.
SUMMARY 19
6.3 Maintain and Expand the Town’s Outdoor Spaces and
Amenities
Goal: Ensure that the recreational, cultural, and natural benefits of the Town’s outdoor
spaces and amenities are promoted, conserved and enhanced to meet the needs of
existing and future residents.
Recommendations
Recommendations for the Outdoor Amenities section have been divided into three
categories: Parks and Open Spaces, Playgrounds, and Other Amenities Considerations.
Parks and Open Spaces Policy Recommendations
The recommended policies below build on those in the Municipal Development Plan:
• Larger parks, including sports fields and passive natural areas, should be favoured over
smaller block-lots and neighbourhood tot lots in new development areas.
• A conceptual system of parks and open spaces, as well as school sites, should be
planned at the Area Structure Plan stage. Open space should connect to or integrate
with parks, recreation spaces and other natural features.
• Plans for Municipal Reserve sites should incorporate Universal Design (barrier free) and
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles.
• Open spaces and recreation amenities should be provided within multi-residential
developments, mixed use and commercial developments. Public access to these
amenities should be provided.
• Public plazas should be provided within a Town Centre and other non-residential focal
points to provide space for public and cultural events.
• Public amenities such as rest areas with benches, picnic space and BBQ areas should
be established as part of the Town’s open space system.
• The design of the open space network should prioritize conservation or minimizing
the loss of natural green elements and natural topography. Recreation amenities may
be allowed within open space where there is no negative impact on ecological and
hydrological functionality or connectivity.
20 SUMMARY
Playground Recommendations
Maintain and enhance existing playground facilities.
• Playgrounds should have the highest play-value possible, encouraging the development of
physical skills, creativity, and cooperative play.
Ensure playgrounds are accessible to everyone.
• Incorporate barrier-free design where applicable.
Explore opportunities to incorporate innovative playground design into new and existing
playgrounds.
• Provide play spaces for all stages of childhood.
• Connect playground spaces with natural features such as hills, water features, or plazas.
Ensure community input is obtained from the beginning of the design stage.
• Design public meetings and design workshops for new communities with a specific
playground component.
• Work with schools to explore partnering opportunities to enhance planning processes.
Continue to work with developers to ensure recreation spaces are effectively planned for.
• Work with developers to designate specific open areas for the use of playgrounds on
Municipal Reserve land rather than taking cash-in-lieu.
“Today, playground should be a word
used when referring to holistic play
environments integrated into parks,
schoolyards, community centres,
greenways and plazas designed to be
used by people of all ages at all times of
the day and year”
- Manitoba Report, p. 70
Other Amenity Considerations
There are a number of outdoor amenities that Chestermere residents have identified as desirable
through public surveys. These include:
Tobogganing Hill
As one of the top outdoor amenities residents have stated they would like in Town, the feasibility
of providing a tobogganing hill, as well as location options should be further explored.
SUMMARY 21
Spray Park
Further investigation into best practices, as well as feasibility is required; however general
recommendations are as following:
• Incorporating the spray park inside the new multiplex would allow for year round access
to the amenity and may be more cost effective. However, it appears that residents
remain committed to having an outdoor spray park. It is still recommended that the
recreation facility planning committee investigate incorporating spray park elements
within the new recreation centre.
• A spray park should be favoured over a splash park. Because splash parks allow water
to accumulate rather than drain directly, splash parks need to be supervised when open
to the public and water quality needs to be consistently monitored.
• Appropriate sizing of a spray park is an important consideration. A moderate sized park
for Chestermere is recommended with age specific “zones” within.
• Operating, maintenance and lifecycle costs need to be determined during the planning
process.
Off Leash Dog Park
Town Administration is currently considering options to address off leash dog park issues
including relocating the park and/or determining an additional location for a dog park.
Recommendations will be forwarded to Council once appropriate research and site analysis
has been completed.
Outdoor Exercise Circuit
This was identified as a lower priority item in
community surveys; however grant and partnership
opportunities should be kept in mind as development
continues in Chestermere.
Care should be taken to not place exercise circuits
close to playgrounds, as children often cannot tell
that it can be unsafe for them to be playing on the
equipment.
As our population ages, an
outdoor exercise circuit is
a great way to provide an
outdoor activity and amenity
to keep our community
healthy and happy. This
would also ensure free
access to exercise equipment
for all community members.
A series of exercise machines can be placed in
public recreation spaces to create a circuit.
22 SUMMARY
Public Art
The Town should continue to incorporate local art
in public places on a case by case basis with the
Urban Beautification Committee taking a lead role
to promote and forward proposals.
Bike racks can provide public
art while promoting cycling.
Outdoor Soccer Fields
There are plans to build additional soccer fields alongside new schools, as well as to
incorporate outdoor multi-use playing fields on the campus of the new multiplex. The Town will
continue to investigate further opportunities to build sports fields to meet community demand.
Maintenance of current field inventory should be further investigated.
Outdoor Picnic and BBQ areas
When developing new park space, picnic and BBQ areas should be incorporated where feasible.
Further investigation should be made into enhanced picnic areas, which could include shelters
and areas to accommodate large families or other gatherings.
Outdoor Boarded Hockey Rink
Both outdoor boarded hockey rinks and leisure skating surfaces prove to be very popular
through the winter. The Town is in the process of developing policies and procedures to
facilitate safe outdoor skating.
The Town is currently piloting an “Adopt a Rink” program with the Chestermere Outdoor
Recreation Association. This program creates partnerships with residents to support outdoor
rinks. Results from the pilot will be evaluated in 2014.
Community Events Space
Once the population reaches 30,000
an additional flexible event space
should be planned to accommodate
occasional use, rather than creating a
dedicated space.
John Peake Park provides an outdoor
venue for Town celebrations. The image
to the right shows dancers performing
at the Pavilion Stage in the Park for the
Canada Day celebration (2012).
SUMMARY 23
General Recommendations for Outdoor Amenities
It is recommended that the Town further investigate the feasibility of the amenities listed
above. Factors that ought to be considered include:
• Existing research already undertaken
• Size and potential locations of amenities
As future development is determined, it is recommended that Administration plan for
spaces in which to incorporate future recreation amenities.
• Capital and development costs
Both costs should be considered for each project. It is also important to develop
a strategy for maintaining assets as well as accounting for operating and life cycle
expenses.
6.4 General Recreation Policies
Recommendations
• The Town should work towards putting aside $300,000-$400,000 annually in the budget
to fund the proposed improvements in this plan, with regards to outdoor amenities and
pathway connection and surfacing within existing neighbourhoods.
• A staff committee should be formed to implement the Pathways and Outdoor Amenities
recommendations.
• The Outline Plan and/or land use redesignation application shall provide details on planned
recreation facilities and outdoor amenities that reflect, and are in compliance with, the
Master Recreation Plan 2014. The Plan implementation shall be supported through the
contribution from all developers in the affected areas. The value, conditions and form of
contributions will be determined as the part of the Plan process in consultation with the
development industry.
• The Town should take an enhanced role in capacity building, awareness and education for
recreation.
• All recreation planning should prioritize connectivity. Connections as a whole should be
thought of, rather than stand-alone features.
John Peak Park.
24 SUMMARY
7.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
With guidance from this Master Recreation Plan the Town has begun to set out strategies and
steps that will ensure the recreation needs of our residents are met now, as well as that future
needs are planned for.
Table 1: Implementation Timeline
The table below shows a general timeline to implement the recommendations found in this Plan.
As the actions get underway, the community grows and recreation needs change, this document
should be updated and the implementation actions added to.
SUMMARY 25
