Construction for the new community centre in Mundy Pond Park, to replace the H.G.R. Mews Community Centre, is well underway.

Since Fall 2019, staff have been working to advance the design of the new building, incorporating what was heard through the engagement processes in 2018 and 2019.

Check out the visuals in the document library including an updated exterior rendering, the gymnasium with the elevated walking track, and the leisure pool, in addition to the other visuals added throughout the project.

H.G.R. Mews Community Centre Opening in September 2025

The City of St. John’s is pleased to share that the new H.G.R. Mews Community Centre will open to the public in September 2025.

The mechanical issues with the building cooling and heating equipment have been resolved and ownership of the building has now been transferred from the contractor to the city.

A September opening will help minimize disruption to existing recreation programs and allow time for staff to undergo training and finalize logistical preparations to ensure a smooth and successful transition to the new facility.

Further details, including specific dates, opening events and transitional information, will be shared as we get closer to September. The City has created a new webpage to share transitional information, facility features and more at StJohns.ca/NewMews(External link)
