Games Preparation Centre/Recreation Centre
The Venue City Agreement between Surrey and VANOC included a commitment by Surrey to provide a Games Preparation Centre (GPC) for use by VANOC.  The GPC has been constructed as the first phase of the new Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre located in Tom Binnie Park.  Construction of the GPC is complete and is a of multi-purpose space for the exclusive use of VANOC leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Games. The second and final phase of construction includes the gymnasium and main lobby/entrance area with a scheduled completion date later this year.  The new “Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre” will provide 20,000 square feet of recreational amenity space for the growing City Centre population.  Following the 2010 Winter Games, the GPC will be a legacy of the Games and form part of the multi-purpose recreation centre.
