Published April 30, 2024 at 9:56 pm
An up-to-date time-lapse video shows that Burlington’s latest community centre is on its way to completion.
The video shows the Skyway Community Centre now looks like the building that will soon be a hub of neighbourhood activity.
The $40 million structure is located on Kenwood Ave. in the southeast area of the city and is expected to open later this year.
When complete, the facility will be Burlington’s most state-of-the-art public building.
The 47,000-sq.-ft structure will be home to an NHL-sized ice pad with seating, six change rooms complete with washrooms and showers, multi-house program areas with kitchens, and a three-lane indoor walking track among several other amenities.
And that’s just inside.

The surrounding park will see a new baseball diamond with dugouts and seating, accessible pathways, a children’s play area and washrooms.
As the video shows, the work is continuing at a brisk pace and the project is expected to be finished and open for use by the summer of next year.
Here is what has been done so far.
- Structural steel has been erected and a metal deck has been installed
- Masonry walls completed

- Door frames and window frames are being installed
- Work is underway to prepare the floor for pouring of the concrete rink slab
- Geothermal wells have been drilled at the back of the property
