Bracebridge has developed a comprehensive plan to replace the Town's 70-year-old Memorial Arena and 111-year-old Public Library with a much-needed regional community hub, which, in addition to the arena, auditorium and library replacements, will include a multi-sport field house (double sized gymnasium with track) that will support a wide variety of community uses. Other amenities include: a concession, outdoor playground, trails, open spaces, parking and an area retained for a future second arena.
This new facility supports the current and future needs of the community. The new facility will also enhance opportunities for community engagement, learning, culture, recreation, sport, and tourism, all in an inclusive and accessible environment.

The vibrant, accessible, approximately 113, 700 square foot community centre includes a 1,000 seat arena, modern public library, community auditorium, indoor multi-sport field house, common lobby, 330 parking stalls, outdoor play spaces and an area retained for a future second arena to accommodate they community's growth projections.
