Beltline Aquatic and Fitness Centre
Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre: A Legacy of Community Wellness in Calgary
The Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre, located at 221 12th Avenue SW in Calgary's Beltline district, has been a cornerstone of community recreation since its opening in 1954. Initially established by the YMCA, the facility was later acquired by the City of Calgary in 1979, continuing its mission to promote health and wellness among residents.
Facility Features
The centre offered a variety of amenities designed to cater to diverse fitness needs:
- An indoor, four-lane, 18.25-metre swimming pool.
- A traditional dry sauna.
- A full-size, air-conditioned gymnasium.
- Weight room and cardio equipment.
- A studio for yoga, dance, and martial arts.
Community Impact
For decades, the Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre served as a vital hub for the community, offering programs and services that fostered physical activity and social engagement. Its central location made it accessible to a diverse population, contributing significantly to the neighborhood's vibrancy.
Closure and Transition
In 2019, due to budget constraints and the facility's aging infrastructure, the City of Calgary announced the impending closure of the Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre. The pool was permanently closed in 2021, and the facility was repurposed as the Beltline Community Hub, focusing on providing community programs and services. However, after a feasibility study revealed challenges in sustaining operations, the hub ceased public operations on October 14, 2022.
Legacy
The Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre holds a cherished place in Calgary's history, having contributed to the health and well-being of its residents for nearly seven decades. Its legacy continues to inspire community initiatives aimed at fostering wellness and connectivity within the Beltline district.
