Outdoor & Indoor Recreation
RECREATION DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT
To strengthen community inclusion and equity through programs, services, parks and facilities that promote healthy lifestyles, connect families and neighbours, recognize culture and heritage; thereby enriching the quality of life in Espanola and our surrounding areas.
Outdoor recreational amenities under the umbrella of the Town of Espanola include playgrounds, the Clear Lake Beach, a track and field, soccer and ball fields, tennis and pickle ball courts and an outdoor skating rink.
The Espanola Regional Recreation Complex is a hub for indoor activities featuring an accessible salt water pool, fitness gym, arena, and squash court all housed in one building attached to the Espanola Public Library and adjacent to the track & field.
Council adopted the Espanola Active Community Charter in the spring of 2011 and the Espanola Recreation Master Plan in 2017 to support and guide the development of Recreation.
News and Notices
In September 2024, the Town of Espanola was pleased to announce itself as the recipient of $58,100 in funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), which allowed the Town to replace the Espanola Regional Recreation Complex’s MUA-1 air intake unit to help enhance air quality and temperature in the facility’s changerooms. This generous funding provided by OTF will help to sustain Complex operations for the next 20-25 years.
