Site Selection

A sports complex is most successful when it is a part of a larger vision so that more
people will come to visit the entire revitalized area. There are two kinds of visions.
The first is the iconic vision. A posrts complex is such a dramatic change that it alters
the community’s and the wider public’s perception of the neighbourhood for the
better. The second is the integrated vision. In this case, a sports complex is designed
to fit architecturally with its surroundings. A complex becomes an extension of
community pride and becomes a destination for everyone. The result of both
approaches has been public support and utilization of the complex to a larger degree
than a stand-alone sports complex.

The major function that will take place in the structure is that to identify specific
strategies, program and facility needs, management requirements and other factors
to create model for community recreation, aquatics or multi sportfacility that will
provide the highest likelihood for positive local economic impact.
