The Southport Rec-Plex is almost ready.
"I was talking about the new open concept, a fully accessible fitness facility that we're opening up in Southport. It's a state-of-the-art facility with a lot of new features such as a climbing wall, 110-metre walking track with rubberized flooring, and food kiosk. At the same time keeping a lot of the old features that people liked about what we had. So, there's a lot of our fitness equipment, and adding new fitness equipment at the same time, and our fully rentable gymnasium."
Orchard outlines their scheduled opening.
"Our opening will be at the end of the month. That's not set in stone. But our grand opening event will be November 15th. So, we do count on being open for then. Our hours of operation right now for members 5:00 a.m. til 10:00 p.m. during the week, and then 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the weekend. It'd be an 8:30 a.m. opening for just public non-members, and 11:00 a.m. on the weekends."
He notes a highlight's the new rock wall. All ages can come and climb with three different types of climbing, including top-rope belay climbing, auto belay, and bouldering.
He explains they overhauled the former pool location.
"It's in our old pool area where our old Southport pool was located. We're using that space. It was a lot of work changing that over and making it new. The climbing wall, as I mentioned earlier, is based in the pit of our deep end of the pool. So, ten feet down and then 30 feet up."
