Town of Grimsby
Peach King Centre Expansion
Opportunity
The Peach King Centre (PKC) is a vital community hub serving the Town of Grimsby. As the community continues to grow, the existing facility required expansion to accommodate the increasing demand for recreational and social amenities. The project sought to enhance the health and well-being of residents by adding a double gymnasium, indoor walking track, youth centre, fitness amenities, multi-purpose rooms, and upgraded arena dressing rooms. Additionally, the project included improvements to the Town Hall/PKC site, such as parking upgrades, new pedestrian walkways, and infrastructure for active transportation.
Response
The expansion introduces new program spaces, including a double gymnasium, youth centre, fitness room, and walking track, while modernizing existing facilities to create an intuitive, accessible, and flexible environment. The reoriented entrance and consolidated parking improve site connectivity, while the southward orientation offers picturesque views of the surrounding greenspace and escarpment. With a high-performance building envelope and thoughtful massing, the design prioritizes sustainability, functionality, and community engagement, ensuring the Centre remains a vibrant gathering place for all residents.
