Open for Drop-In - August 2023
The four new beach volleyball courts at Albion Sports Complex are now open for drop in use! A grand opening event will be held in September to celebrate this new competition venue for the BC Summer games in July 2024.
These courts were constructed with funding support from BC Summer Games legacy funds and the Government of Canada Gas Tax Fund/Canada Community Works Building Funding.
Under Construction – Spring/Summer 2023
Construction of the 4-court beach volleyball facility at the Albion Sports Complex is underway!
Efforts to minimize disruption to surrounding activities are in place including temporary fencing around the project site and special accommodations for events. Throughout this process, special attention has been given to finding competition grade sand to fill the courts.
We anticipate opening these new courts in Summer of 2023. Thank you for your patience as we work to deliver this new sports facility.
Final Plan
With further input from key stakeholders, a final plan for the new beach volleyball courts at Albion Sports Complex was developed (see below). Construction for these sand volleyball courts will begin over the next several months and is anticipated to be complete in summer for our user groups and residents to enjoy.
We will update with more information on the construction timeline as details are determined. Thank you to all who have participated in this process.
