Frequently asked questions about the new facility
- What programs will be offered in the new facility?
All programs currently available in this facility will continue to exist. The new gymnasium will allow for a variety of sport and other physical activities, such as volleyball, basketball, pickleball, badminton, camps, after-school programs and more. Feedback from past community engagements will inform current programming. As with all Halifax Recreational facilities, staff will continue to monitor trends and feedback from residents to align program offerings with community needs.
- Will there be pickleball offered at the new centre?
Yes, Pickleball drop-ins are being offered on Tuesday (course code 73114) and Thursday (course code 73116) mornings from 10:00-11:30 a.m. from April until June. $5 + tax per drop in. Participants can register 7 days in advance of each session.
- Why is the name changing from Lakeside Community Centre to Beechville Lakeside Timberlea Community Centre?
The naming change of the facility better represents the communities primarily serviced by the centre. It also recognizes Beechville, an historic African Nova Scotian community, first settled in the early 1800s.
