Executive Summary:

The Fleury Park Project complies with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan on

many levels.

The proposed project also complements the Promenade Study to rejuvenate the Yonge-

Wellington area.

There is an opportunity to receive a Heritage Canada Legacy Fund grant of $500,000

by linking to our Sesquicentennial Celebrations.

The project utilizes smart vent technologies to allow building on flood plains.

The Project is designed to proceed in stages as shown on the Implementation Schedule.

The ACTC estimates the cost of this project is between 2 and 2.5 million dollars.

Town Staff arrived at a cost estimate of 8 million plus dollars.

This report provides documentation to support our calculations.

Cost Comparison:Fleury Park Playhouse and Angus Glen Tennis Centre

Scope:

In order to provide a basis for comparative costs, the following data were obtained from a

Markham staff report presented to the Markham Council General Committee re: the Angus

Glen Tennis Centre, a tennis-only facility built in July 2011. The Angus Glen Project included

building four courts and a structure covering the four courts. The proposed Fleury Park

Playhouse project includes building two additional courts to add onto the four existing ones, as

well as a covered structure over all six courts.

Summary:

Bid price for the Angus Glen Tennis Centre . $3,352,895.77

Consideration:

The proposed Fleury Park Playhouse structure will be built with less expensive materials

resulting in two builders quotes received for the Fleury Park Playhouse ofapproximately

$1,300,000 (see attachment) which is considerably less than the projected cost of $2,785,342

for the Angus Glen project, had their structure been built to cover six tennis courts. You can see

the calculations used to determine the projected Angus Glen Tennis Centre in our Attachments.

Conclusion:

The above cost comparison with the Angus Glen project validates the estimated cost for the

Fleury Park Playhouse of$1,300,000. The overall estimated total cost of $2,000,000 to

$2,500,000 for the Fleury Park project is clearly more realistic than the $8,000,000 plus

estimate provided by Town staff.

An Assessment of the Fleury Park Project

in Relation to the

Parks and Recreation Master Plan - 2010

Final Report 2010: To serve a welcoming and dynamic town having a strong sense of community pride

and volunteerism, committed to healthy and inclusive lifestyles inspired by its natural heritage, historical

culture, diverse neighborhoods., t

Like the Town, ACTC used the Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2010 as a template to see where there

were complementary connections. On any of the following documents where you see a page reference

at the top of the page, that is a reference to the Master Plan.

As we studied the Master Plan we found it to be an excellent guide or tool to envision future

development for recreation, arts, culture and social development in Aurora. There were many

encouraging messages that touched on the challenges and potential solutions that we address in our

Feasibility Study.

Parks & Recreation Master Plan 2010

Executive Summary (page iii)

With a rapidly growing and increasingly diversified population base, the Town of Aurora has undertaken

this Parks & Recreation Master Plan to guide and direct leisure service activities, programs, services

and facilities through to the year 2013.

The Master Plan has been developed based upon research, understanding of demographics and relevant

trends, outreach initiatives with the community, consultations with local stakeholders and detailed

needs assessments. The key findings are articulated as follows.

Proactive Acquisition and Assembly of Active Parkland is Necessary

Analysis shows that the amount of Community Parkland, which are large tracts of parkland that can

accommodate sports fields and other major leisure facilities, is presently in deficit and between 45 (#)and 48 hectares will be needed by the year 2013.

Given heavy reliance upon nonmunicipal outdoor facilities (i.e. those at schools, industrial lands, etc.),

the Town would be best served by acquiring land(s) for the purposes of a multifield sports

complex (i.e. soccer fields, and/or multiuse field); it is recommended, however, that sports field

development should only take place if access to a significant number of key nonmunicipal

fields ceases. Proactive land assembly may also benefit the Town by securing an appropriate s ite for

which a future indoor community leisure facility which may be required beyond the term of this

Master Plan.

An opportunity for land acquisition could be to assemble lands adjacent to the Stronach AuroraRecreation Complex in advance of future outdoor and/or indoor facility additions to the site.

Development / Redevelopment of Community Program Space

To meet the growing leisure programming demands offered by the Town and its community partners,

additional multiuse community program space(*) and rental venues will be required. Such space

should be included in any new leisure facilities which are constructed in the future, however, existing

municipal venues (e.g. the old public library, Victoria Hall, etc.) should be evaluated for their ability to be

improved in such a manner that a broader range of services can be provided.

Fleury Park Project Compliance Features:

1. (#) Use land already owned (at Fleury Park) which lies fallow eight months of the year. Noneed to purchase expensive new land for meeting recreational needs.

2. * The Fleury Park Playhouse Project is a multi-use, multi-function, revenue generatinginitiative.

Research & Consultation (page 7)

General Trends in the Leisure System

1. Incomecan be a significant barrier to participation in leisure pursuits if costs toparticipate are higha persons ability to pay needs to be considered by municipalities

and community organizations alike when delivering leisure services.

2. Demand for unorganizedand dropin activities is on the rise, at the expense of mostorganized and structured programs which are inflexible to those with limited amounts

of free time.

3. The multiuse facility and park concept is being increasingly viewed as the preferreddevelopment model since it consolidates a number of leisure activities at a single

location, thereby providing a onestop shopping venue for timepressed individuals,

offering crossprogramming opportunities for a wide range of ages, and reducing

municipal operational costs.

4. Municipalities are often entering into partnershipswith community and privatesectororganizations to maximize efficiencies associated with capital and operational costs, so

long as the municipality and the community benefit as a whole.

5. Volunteerismis in decline across the country, therefore, supporting local volunteers iscritical to ensuring that these dedicated individuals continue to participate in civic life

and that new volunteers can be recruited.


1. Income:Four summer months provide free, unfettered, public access to Fleury ParkPlay Areas.

2. Unorganized: Two additional court areas would provide 50% increased play timeavailability.

3. Multi-use: The Fleury Park Proposal champions and complies with multiple useactivities (cross programming, one stop shopping). (tennis, basketball, volleyball, pickle

ball)

4. Partnerships: By the Town partnering with ACTC, an non-profit communityorganization the Federal government Legacy Fund will consider an application of up to

$500,000 in a capital grant.5. Volunteerism: The Fleury Project has received full support from Sport Aurora and the

Aurora Seniors Association. In addition, the Play House with its beautiful and open,

sunshine doors will attract and invigorate an interest in volunteerism and civic

participation.

Indoor Recreation Facilities (page 21)

3.7 Older Adult & Senior Spaces

Given the considerable growth in the older adult population, additional seniors space will be required

beyond the timeframe of this Master Plan. At this time, the growth in the seniors population may

necessitate the expansion of existing multiuse spaces utilized by seniors (including the Aurora Seniors

Centre) as well as the development of new venues for older adults/seniors to congregate and participate

in leisurely pursuits.

There will be a growing need for spaces at multiuse centres where the new senior will likely be

spending the majority of their leisure time, given the propensity to seek active living opportunities.

Future seniors spaces are preferably provided within the multiuse leisure facility template to allow

greater degree of participation in physical activities pursued by older adults and the new senior such

as swimming (e.g. aqua fitness, therapeutic programs, etc.) or ice sports (oldtimer leagues, etc.)

3.8 Gymnasiums

Consideration of constructing a municipal gymnasium could be considered in concert with a new youth

centre. A detailed study should be undertaken, based on wide public consultation and a market study,

to determine unmet youth needs, gaps in services to youth and the facilities required to meet the

identified needs and close identified gaps. The analysis should be conducted independent of town

Departments (to avoid institutional bias, real or perceived) and include all sectors: spots, recreat ion and

cultural. The methodology should not take a single solution approach.

The provision of a municipal gymnasium could either take place by way of expansion of an existing

community recreation facility or through new facility development.


1. Pickle ball, badminton, etc. could be played in the Fleury Playhouse. The Fleury ParkProject advocates an expansion of an existing community recreation facility. There are

complementary features in the Fleury Project that could support the goals related to

the development of a youth centre.


1. The Aurora Seniors Association has given a letter of support for the Fleury Project.2. The Seniors Centre in interested in using the Playhouse for pickle ball and the Fleury

Park Playhouse could be a new venue for older adult/seniors to congregate and

participate in leisurely pursuits.

Outdoor Recreation Facilities (page 32)

4.5 Tennis, Basketball & Multi-Use CourtsIt is preferred that the Town utilize a multiuse court provision model that combines these tennis andbasketball facilities together in a single template. Doing so will offer efficiencies associated with capital

investment, maintenance, land requirements and the number of unstructured uses that can take place

(basketball, tennis, ball hockey, outdoor ice, etc.). The courts should be lined with basketball and tennis

boundaries and are generally first come, first serve in terms of usage as would be at any other playing

court, however, a time limit for users in high demand areas may be a way to encourage equitable access

for all users.

Development of future facilities should take the form of a multiuse court concept unless specifically

designed for high quality, competitive level tennis or basketball (e.g. McMahon Park tennis courts) in

which case dedicated courts should be constructed. Consideration of basketball half courts may be

appropriate in smaller neighbourhood parks where gaps in service provision need to be addressed.



Outdoor Recreation Facilities: (page 33)

With regard to competitive/organized tennis opportunities, there are presently three dedicated club

courts in Aurora which are exclusively used and operated by the Aurora Tennis Club (under contract

with the Town). Should there be merit in expanding the number of club courts as well as evaluating the

feasibility of constructing an allweather tennis enclosure to facilitate winter play there are two general

options that could be considered in this regards.

1 Conversion of Fleury Park to Club Courts Designating Fleury Park as a venue forcompetitive/organized tennis, while beneficial from the perspective of revenue generation and

proximity to club courts at McMahon Park, would also remove free public access for users ofFleury Park and seven of the eleven municipal courts would potentially become club facilities.

Furthermore, development is contingent upon approval from the Conservation Authority due to

its location on flood plain lands.


1. The Fleury Park Project advocates a multi-use, multi-function model.


10/23

10

2 Relocation of All Club Courts to the Aurora Community Centre Site An option to the provisionof club courts at McMahon and Fleury Parks would be to move all outdoor club courts to the

Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex site, as part of a facility and site redevelopment process as

suggested in Section 3. Doing so would consolidate competitive tennis opportunities at a single

location, create opportunities for tournament play, and capitalize on fitness and dry land

training opportunities for tennis players (assuming a fitness centre and/or gymnasium is

developed at the Complex). This course of action, however, would imply that the courts atMcMahon Park be designated for free public use, with the Aurora Recreation Complex

containing the replacement/additional club courts.


Multi-Purpose Community & Program Rooms (page 67)

7. Continue to offer a variety of leisure program and rental opportunities out of existing municipal

facilities, to the greatest degree possible, subject to the space review process that is underway.

8. Together with recommendation #2, underutilized or vacant community buildings suitable forproviding expanded and enhanced opportunities to the community, should be reviewed as part of a

cluster strategy with the goal of addressing a future Arts & Culture Master Plan objectives through the

establishment of the Arts & Culture Master Plan.

9. Any new leisure facilities developed in the future should contain flexible community rental and

program spaces.


1. ACTC has no interest in converting Fleury Park to Club courts. We are happy where we are andhave communicated that when consulted. Since receiving Ontario Trillium Grant that improved

our clubhouse our members and the public enjoy our improved facilities.

2. ACTC promotes two additional courts at Fleury Park for increased free public accessibility duringthe warm months (May-September).

3. ACTC also is promoting the application for a Town owned weather proofed enclosure for multipleusers for multiple functions.


1. Contrary to the Master Plan, ACTC is not interested in a fitness and training gymnasium like theStronach Centre Complex. Such a facility would be competitive with private operators like the

Timberlane Athletic Club.

2. Contrary to the Master Plan, ACTC is content with its level of competitive activities at McMahonPark.

Outdoor Recreational Facilities: (page 38)

410 Outdoor Skating Rinks:The Town of Aurora maintains four outdoor skating rinks at Confederation Park, Machell Park, Town

Park and Ada Johnson Park. The provision of outdoor skating venues is one way to alleviate pressures on

arena demand, as it can facilitate public skating and pickup shinny opportunities, while they can also

create focal points for community activities and special events. The multiuse court template, described

earlier in this Section, can be used to frame an outdoor rink in the winter season. It is recommended

that the Town explore the possibility of providing an artificial ice surface at future multiuse court(s) in

order to determine the feasibility and costeffectiveness of this amenity in the context of evolving

climatic conditions. An artificial ice rink is only deemed to be appropriate in a Community Park setting, acentralized location and/or a park intended for civic gatherings.

The Town of Aurora assists with volunteer maintained ice rinks at Chapman Park, Civic Square, and

James Lloyd Park, a service delivery approach that should be extended to other appropriate park

locations where community support exists to do so.


7. The Fleury Park Project leverages existing land, location and staff resources at Fleury Park.

8. The Fleury Park Proposal addresses an under-utilized venue to provide expanded and

enhanced opportunities for players: athletic, dramatic and musical. This multi-functionalproposal links to the Promenade Study and to the proposed Hillary House McIntyre Park

Initiative. These resonating components would invigorate the downtown core.

9. The large sunshine doors allow for events and activities to be quickly set up and struck down,

maximizing rental revenue and program flexibility.


If the Playhouse is not built or approved the money spent on two additional courts, the

retaining wall and parking lot good value because: a minimum of 2 lighted skating areas

allowing for a variety of skating activities (children, teens, shinny hockey)


12/23

12


Outdoor Skating Rinks (page 70)

39. The Town should continue to work with volunteers to maintain natural ice rinks on municipal land

for public use.


Parks & Open Spaces: (page 48)

Comfort Facilities

Wherever possible, the Town should cluster the same type of playing fields together to increase a sense

of form and function in active use parks. Such parks should also include washrooms, electrical outlets,

benches and safe, pedestrianfriendly pathways, etc. The Town should continue to consider permanent

or portable washroom facilities at heavily utilized park and trail locations as these conveniences can

attract a greater use by individuals and families.


Harvest the Playhouse shade. A shaded ice rink close to the proposed Irwin street parking

lot would not be compromised by ice melting sunshine.


1. Using the proposed Smart Vent technologies could allow renovation of Fleury Parkwashroom.

2. The Fleury Park Project uses a cluster model approach and invites greater use of the park byindividuals and families. The six multi-use play areas at Fleury Park conform to the cluster

model. More play areas (courts) at Fleury would allow for more unstructured or pick-up tennis

for the public.


13/23

13

Unstructured Recreation Areas

People are seeking areas where they can enjoy park uses at their own time and convenience. Informal

open spaces have been observed to be popular, particularly at the neighbourhoodlevel for activities

such as pickup field sports, picnicking, playing musical instruments, kite flying, etc. The key to the

success of unstructured recreational areas is the flexibility that is afforded for the uses that can be

pursued. These types of parks can bring people together to participate in physical activity, showcase

cultural diversity through festivals and special events.


5.4 Parkland Acquisition (page 46)

In addition to the park land acquisition process, the Town should also investigate parkland renewal and

redevelopment opportunities at its existing parks. For example, redevelopment opportunities at urban

parks (i.e. Confederation Park, Lions Park, or any lands becoming available in other urban areas, etc.)

can be oriented to respond to neighbourhood and communityspecific demands such as urban parks,

plazas and squares in addition to traditional parkland facilities.

Implementing the Plan: (page 76)Cost ImplicationsUse Courts

Recommendations Tennis, Basketball and Multi-use Courts

83.The Town should provide new multiuse courts within newly developing residential areas,

wherever appropriate, in order to provide sufficient access to these facilities. A minimum oftwo new courts is encouraged by the end of the Master Planning period to address

underserviced existing residential areas. High Priority: (page 76)

Outdoor Aquatics


1. The Fleury Park Playhouse would double the play time at this location for access to free,unstructured recreational players of volleyball, basketball, tennis, pickle ball. The Playhouse

also supports cultural diversity through festival and special events.


1. The Fleury Park Project core feature is the renewal and redevelopment as Fleury Park is anexisting venue.


1. The Plan calls for a minimum of two new courts for EXISTING underserviced residentialareas. The two additional courts at Fleury Park, then enclosed would double playable time

at Fleury Park from May to September.

Cost Comparison:Fleury Park Playhouse and Angus Glen Tennis Centre

Scope:

In order to provide a basis for comparative costs, the following data were obtained from a

Markham staff report presented to the Markham Council General Committee re: the Angus

Glen Tennis Centre, a tennis-only facility built in July 2011. The Angus Glen Project included

building four courts and a structure covering the four courts. The proposed Fleury Park

Playhouse project includes building two additional courts to add onto the four existing ones, as

well as a covered structure over all six courts.

Summary:

Bid price for the Angus Glen Tennis Centre . $3,352,895.77

Consideration:The Angus Glen Tennis Centre included four courts at an estimated cost of $125,000 each,

totalling $500,000 ($125,000 X 4)

Had they built six courts, their cost would have been 50% higher i.e. $750,000 (1.5 X $500,000)

Consideration:

The Angus Glen Tennis Centre project included a clubhouse that cost a total of$996,000.

Thus, without the cost of their clubhouse, the cost of their four tennis courts and the building

covering them was $2,356,895 ($3,352,895 - $996,000).

Without the cost of their tennis courts, the cost of just the building covering them was

$1,856,895 ($2,356,895 - $500,000)

If the Angus Glen Tennis Centre had built a covered structure to envelop six courts, the cost

would be 50% higher, i.e. $2,785,342 (1.5 X $1,856,895)

Thus, based on the Angus Glen project costs, the projected cost for the proposed Fleury Park

Playhouse would be $3,035,342, to build only two tennis courts ($250,000) plus a structure to

cover six courts ($2,785,342).

Consideration:

The proposed Fleury Park Playhouse structure will be built with less expensive materials

resulting in two builders quotes ofapproximately $1,300,000 (see attachment) which is

considerably less than the projected cost of $2,785,342 for the Angus Glen project, had their

structure been built to cover six tennis courts.

Conclusion:

The above cost comparison with the Angus Glen project validates the estimated cost for the

Fleury Park Playhouse of $1,300,000. The overall estimated total cost of $2,000,000 to

$2,500,000 for the Fleury Park project is clearly more realistic than the $8,000,000 plus

estimate provided by Town staff.

four summer months would allow free public access just as in the past

except the venue is now weather proofed. Thus the number of freepublic play hours is effectively doubled for the four summer months.

As is current standard practice groups or individuals, play space time

will have to be booked with the Town.

1.Location is Aurora ON.2.Building size is 120' x 350' x 20' eave height.3.Ridge line is offset (70'/50') to maximize solar area.4.End wall facing amphitheatre is set in 50' to provide a 3 sided

covered area for amphitheatre guests.5.Framed openings (16' x 16') in bays 1, 3, 7, 8, 12 and 14 on both

side walls for Sunshine doors. I would propose that these sidedoors have dormer shaped frame and sheeting to enhance the look.

It would make it look more like an building of fine arts insteadof an industrial shop.

6.This estimate includes the structure, insulation, setup, doubleman doors, sunshine doors etc.

7.Includes stamped drawings for the structure and B1 schedulesonly.

8.Estimated cost for summer construction $1.34 m.If you wish to work with us on this project we can save you a ton ofmoney.

Cheers
