Central Okanagan residents will have a brand new indoor home in a few months, where they can practice outdoor sports year round.

West Kelowna’s Multi Sport Dome will be the community’s first airborne structure to house a Super 8 artificial turf field.

Ahhh, that’s exciting! The roof of our new multisport dome was raised today! We can hardly wait! It may take a few more weeks to finish; But think, field sports will soon be played in the hall @WestKelownaCity in autumn & winter! pic.twitter.com/ErwLgt4eRN

Those who want to use the full length during “prime time” times pay $ 175 / hour, while rental rates outside of the popular times are $ 110 / hour.

The Westside Youth Soccer Association sponsored $ 667,000 to build the $ 4.1 million facility, due to open in October.

After completion, the dome is expected to significantly extend the playing and exercise times for various recreational sports.
