Designed to bring residents together across all seasons. CIVIC PLAZA Coaldale's Community Living Room 2007 19 Street, Coaldale, Alberta A Year-Round Community Hub At the heart of Civic Plaza is its adaptability and focus on fostering community engagement. The plaza has been thoughtfully designed to serve as a central hub for various activities, events, and casual gatherings throughout the year. In the warmer months, Civic Plaza becomes an inviting space for residents to relax, socialize, or participate in public events such as markets, festivals, and outdoor performances. However, what truly makes Civic Plaza unique is its ability to transform with the seasons. Beneath the outdoor gathering area lies a network of refrigeration lines, allowing the plaza to convert into a picturesque outdoor ice rink during the winter months. This feature makes Civic Plaza a perfect destination for ice skating, a beloved winter pastime for many in Coaldale. Outdoor Ice Skating: A Winter Wonderland As temperatures drop, the refrigeration system will be activated, and Coaldale’s staff will begin the ice-making process. The cooled surface will create a smooth and durable ice sheet, ideal for public skating. Whether it’s a family outing, a romantic skate under the stars, or a holiday skate with Santa, Civic Plaza offers an enjoyable way for people of all ages to make the most of the colder months. This winter transformation adds a unique charm to downtown, encouraging residents to stay active and connected despite the chill in the air. Community First Approach Civic Plaza was designed with more than just aesthetics in mind; it reflects Coaldale’s dedication to creating spaces that bring people together. As "the community's living room," the plaza offers an inclusive environment with seating areas, green spaces, and pathways, welcoming people from all walks of life. The space was also designed to accommodate community groups and organizations, providing essential amenities such as a concession stand, restrooms, and a skate-lacing area, ensuring convenience for visitors during public events. Community groups interested in hosting at the plaza are encouraged to apply via the Civic Plaza Host application to take advantage of this versatile space. Future-Forward Development The completion of Civic Plaza is a milestone in the broader Civic Square project, which is being developed in phases to meet Coaldale’s growing needs. Phase 3 places a strong emphasis on communal spaces, and the plaza is become a central gathering point for both residents and visitors. By creating a space that shifts in purpose from season to season, the Town of Coaldale is not only improving its downtown infrastructure but also enhancing the quality of life for its citizens. Whether you’re attending Summer Fest or lacing up your skates for some winter fun, Civic Plaza, as "the community's living room," is on track to become a cherished part of Coaldale’s cultural and social fabric. A place where people can come together, connect, and celebrate all year long. Civic Plaza Winter Series Community groups, organizations and businesses are invited to host at Civic Plaza during Winter Fest as part of the Civic Plaza Winter Series . Date: Friday, August 11 Time: 7:00 PM, the movie will begin sometime between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM Location: Millennium Park (Hub Field) next to FCSS and behind the Ice Arena.
