Sport Zones

The Calgary Flames Foundation in partnership with the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown, and Parks Foundation Calgary, is proud to announce a $3 million gift to our community that will be directed towards four new all-season recreational assets, including outdoor rinks in winter. Flames Rotary Sport Zonesare innovative all-season sport courts that will be used as outdoor rinks in the winter and will be built in four Calgary communities with construction starting this summer in the Northeast community of Pineridge.

As a result of $3 million in funding; $1 million from Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, $1 million from Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown, and $1 million from the Calgary Flames Foundation, these new innovative outdoor recreation amenities will be placed in four communities around Calgary.

Along with the new assets, the Calgary Flames Foundation will support low-to-no-cost programming at each of the Flames Rotary Sport Zones, including after-school programming, learn to skate and learn to play programs, summer offerings and ball hockey. The Calgary Flames Foundation will also support equipment available at no cost at all four Flames Rotary Sport Zones.

The unique recreation assets include built-in netting and a half-height board system to encourage inclusion and safety, and a bright and vibrant design intended to draw warmth as a Community Hub.
