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.

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.
