544 River Rd W - Library and Twinpad Combination
The 11-acre site at 544 River Road West has been chosen as a potential location for a twinpad arena and library joint use building. The size of the site permits the building of both facilities, required parking, as well as a necessary storm water pond. It also has the potential to accommodate additional structures for possible community partners, other town services, and/or expansion.
A joint use facility could provide many synergies – shared project management costs, building costs, maintenance costs, parking, lobby space, meeting rooms, etc. Community members might appreciate the convenience of having both civic buildings on one site to serve families’ multiple needs in one location.
The Recreation Department notes that 544 River Road West is within walking distance of the current Stars Arena, camp buildings and recreational structures, which may provide both expanded programming opportunities and operational efficiencies.
The Library Board notes that being on an arterial road provides the library with good visibility and transit links, as well as walkability for future residential development planned in the surrounding area.
This privately owned site has a price of $5.435 million, and site preparation costs are predicted to be approximately $510,000, making the estimated cost of building on this site to be approximately $5.945 million.
Site Area: 11.1 AcresTwinpad Arena: 125,000 square feet

Community Partners: 5,000 square feet and 2,343 square feet
