A new community center and library in Vaughan is set to become a reality after construction officially begins.

Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, local councilors and library officials gathered at the site of the new Carrville Community Center, Library and Park on Wednesday for a groundbreaking ceremony.

The new municipal facility will be located in the area of Thomas Cook Avenue and Valley Vista Drive.

“It will bring people together, provide great programs and services, and improve the overall quality of life,” the mayor said in a statement. “The facility will reflect the needs of the community, as many residents provided input throughout the development process.”

Once built, the community center will include a swimming pool, running track, kitchen for cooking classes and a full-service library.

It will feature rooftop solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling technologies, the City of Vaughan said.

Margie Singleton, CEO of Vaughan Public Libraries, described the design exercise for her latest branch as “exciting.”

A park will also be built on the site, including a paddling pool, a skating rink, and tennis and basketball courts. It will include gender-neutral restrooms and changing rooms.

The project’s website says it will be completed in 2024.
