Proposed Arena Complex

Friday, April 9, 2021

The City of Spruce Grove is considering a development proposal to build an Arena Complex in the northeast corner of the city along the Yellowhead Highway at Century Road (known as the Westwind lands). This concept aligns with the City's original vision for Westwind Centre to be a regional commercial, hospitality and entertainment destination. It also meets the needs of the community and creates a destination amenity.
