The Vale Health & Wellness Centre located at 550 Elizabeth Street is a state-of-the-art facility, fully accessible for sport, recreation, health, wellness, entertainment, and commerce – all under one roof – the first of its kind in the Niagara Region.

The 145,000 square foot venue includes two NHL-sized ice pads, a walking/jogging track for all season use, six outdoor bocce courts and, through partnership with the YMCA, an aquatic centre with lap and leisure pools, a gymnasium and fitness area.

The facility is nestled within the T.A. Lannan Sports Complex that is home to six soccer fields, three baseball fields, a playground, outdoor fitness equipment and recreation trails that connect with the Welland Canal Multi-Use Trails.

Additional amenities at the Centre include a small pro shop for skate sharpening and concessions.

PLEASE NOTE, THE INDOOR TRACK IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC DURING TICKETED EVENTS.
