Completing the Pathway to Excellence

Richmond residents enjoy the benefits of excellent parks and recreation programs and services. As a result, residents of this area have the longest life expectancy in Canada.

Richmond has an abundance of modern recreation facilities and an extensive system of City, community and neighbourhood parks, scenic trails, cycling routes and walking paths that all contribute to a healthy active community and help to enhance our quality of life.

The Oval's Role

The Richmond Olympic Oval's role in this network is to complete the pathway to excellence and put the City of Richmond on the international map.

The Oval's grand size, parking facilities and high performance sport specifications will allow the building to host National Training Centres and International World Championship level competitions.  These sport hosting wins will provide previously unavailable opportunities to local youth, fill local hotel rooms and further raise Richmond's profile across the globe.
