ABOUT 60 people packed a smal] Eagle Harbour school room Tuesday night for a meet- ing on the future of the pro- posed western recreation cen- tre,

By Richard Ostler Contributing Writer

A quickly growing community on West Vancouver's west side cou- pled with the uncertain future of Eagle Harbour community centre has united area locals to fight for a bigger and better facility. A new recreation facility has been an issue for more than five years. but has become a priority because West Vancouver School District 45 plans to reclaim the leased Eagle Harbour land by July 1997.

Many residents are concerned about the slow process to find and develop a new facility.

“What sort or assurance do we have that there will be a facility to go to?” said John Clarke. a member of Western .Community Services Society who chaired the meeting.

emand grows for new WV rec centre

Mavor Mark Sager said deter- mining a location for the new facili- ty was responsible in part for the project’s delay. Lust year, West Vancouver District designated land formerly owned by BC Rail for a recreation facility but no plans were established to develop the property. The site across from Gleneagles golf course was purchased for $4.8 million.

Sager and West) Vancouver's director of parks and recreation, Kevin Pike, fielded a barrage of tough questions during Tuesday night's two-hour session, One audi- ence member complained that

North Vancouver. unlike it’s neigh--

bor to the west, had many more facilities.

But Sager responded: “Anyone who lives in North Vancouver prob- ably knows their taxes are going to . go through the roof."

The new Gleneagles-area site covers 27 ucres und is considered an ideal location to serve communities from Caulfeild to Lions Bay. Preliminary plans estimate the new facility would be about 30,000 square feet (2,787 sq. m) and cost about $6 million.

Pike is scheduled to submit a master plan on West Vancouver recreation facilities to council in July. If the project is approved, financing will come from the inter- est on the district's $19 million endowment fund und a capital facil- ity fund.
