New Indoor Aquatics Facility

The new indoor aquatic facility and geothermal heating facility are moving forward. The funding applications for both the Indoor Aquatic Facility and the geothermal heating facility were approved and announced on March 7, 2024.

The new facility will be located on the Sportplex site to the east of the Fieldhouse/Lawson Aquatic Centre, in a portion of the Taylor Field Lands. The Lawson and Fieldhouse will continue to operate until the new facility is open.

The Taylor Field Lands is made up of several pieces of the former Mosaic Stadium vacant land, the Sportplex site which includes the current Fieldhouse/Lawson Aquatic Centre and new location of the Indoor Aquatic Facility, as well as the vacant parking lots adjacent.

The next step is to continue working with the design team on design activities.

  • May 2025 Engagement Session Updates

    The new Indoor Aquatics Facility (IAF) is moving forward and construction is scheduled to start this year. The vision for the new aquatics facility is an accessible, inclusive and sustainable destination that will serve Regina for generations to come. The IAF will provide competition and training amenities as well as recreation and leisure amenities – such as a wave pool, waterslides and a lazy river. The IAF will be located next to the Fieldhouse in the North Central Neighbourhood and will provide community gathering spaces, along with an outdoor playground and spray pad. It will be heated by geothermal energy.

    The City of Regina will host drop-in sessions for residents to ask questions and learn more about the design and construction of this community facility.

    We invite you to drop in at the Sportplex and learn what the project means for our community:

    • May 27, 2025 | 1:30p.m. to 4:30p.m.

    • May 29, 2025 | 5:30p.m. to 8:30p.m.

    The feasibility study included community research and consultation:

    • 40,000 randomly selected households were invited to participate in an online survey.
    • The public were invited to participate in an online questionnaire.
    • Representatives from community groups have been invited to participate in an online questionnaire and upcoming focus group discussions.

    There will be more opportunities for public engagement in the design phases following site selection.

  • Project Partners & Community Advisory Committee
