Residents of the City of Spruce Grove, the Town of Stony Plain and Parkland County had an opportunity to shape an extraordinary legacy for their community. As a result, construction of the $28 million facility started March 21, 2001. The TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre is a dynamic space, full of energy and activity. It is a place where people of all ages can come to compete, learn, exercise, relax, meet and celebrate life. In a truly unique, made-in-the-region approach, residents of Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and Parkland County determined the final design and components that are included in the Centre. These elements include:

2 NHL sized Hockey Rinks Leisure Ice for spontaneous use An Aquatic Centre that hosts 25 meter pool with 10 lanes leisure pool with play structure water slide hot tub steam room Gymnasium with hardwood floor 2 Soccer pitches; one hosts field house flooring for court activities Indoor Fitness Track Fitness Centre with state of the art training equipment 2 Fitness Studios Children's Play Centre Meeting Rooms

Input for the TLC's final design was gathered through a series of public consultation meetings in October, 2000. Following those meetings, plebiscites were held in each municipality on December 13th, 2000 - Enough residents in all three communities voted yes for the project to proceed. On March 21, 2001 the ground breaking ceremony was held with local and provincial dignitaries attending to acknowledge such regional co-operation on a project of this magnitude. The Centre opened to the public on June 29, 2002 with over 30,000 people visiting the new facility during the long weekend. The Grand Opening of the facility was September 18, 2002.
