Construction of the new Miskin Law Community Complex at Lansdowne and Park Streets is nearing completion according to the City of Peterborough.
The official opening is planned for January next year and details for the ceremony will be announced in December.
The new community complex will include a twin-pad arena, a Peterborough Public Library branch, an indoor walking track, multi-purpose space and leasable office space.
The official opening is a few weeks later than initially anticipated. Construction on the $68.5-million facility began in December 2022 and was scheduled to be completed by late December 2024.
The contractor is working with the City of Peterborough to ensure the quality of the finished facility meets expectations for exceptional user experiences at Miskin Law Community Complex. Community user groups are expected to be able to access the space beginning on Jan. 15.
The City will take a phased approach to opening the Miskin Law Community Complex in a way that meets the needs of arena user groups and upcoming tournaments.
The Peterborough Public Library branch at Miskin Law Community Complex will open in February 2025.
Following the official opening event in January, the City will invite the community to visit the new facility, including offering free public skating opportunities.
The City will work with user groups to plan for scheduled use/ice time rentals and ensure ice pads are available for community tournaments. During off-peak facility use hours, minor work may continue to be completed at Miskin Law Community Complex.
Community events and unveiling other spaces within the Miskin Law Community Complex will occur in the weeks following the official opening.
