Eastlink and Coca-Cola Centre offering new Summer Blast Pass

Jul 3, 2022 | 11:00 AM

The City of Grande Prairie has released a new Summer Blast Pass for the Eastlink and Coca-Cola Centre this summer.

Angela Redding, Community Knowledge Campus General Manager says the City of Grande Prairie wanted to encourage people to “stay active and beat the heat” this summer, especially coming out of a pandemic…

“Being that we were coming out of the pandemic we really wanted to make sure that we provided another opportunity for citizens of Grande Prairie or folks that are visiting the community to access the Eastlink Centre and Coca-Cola Centre on what is now our Summer Blast Pass.”

Redding says this idea originated from a Summer Splash Pass that was offered years prior.

“The Summer Splash Pass was a little bit misleading in that was it for aquatics only and this does encompass the entire campus. It’s no different than a drop-in visit, where it provides you full access to all the amenities including our fitness classes and so this name reflects that you really get a full ‘blast’ of fitness and wellness.”

She encourages families or seniors who may have young ones visiting over the summer months to buy a pass.

Redding adds that this pass is perfect for kids of all ages, having parents/guardians save money on bringing a group of younger children. As well as older kids have the ability to plan their day around some physical activities while also being in a safe environment without their parent’s supervision.

“We most certainly see that demographic (Youth 13-17) coming through here in the summer months, it will be interesting to see what covid has done or how they may have changed the demographic we see, but I do really hope that youth feel this is a great indoor safe place where they can come and enjoy their summer holidays,” said Redding.

The Eastlink and Coca-Cola Centre will be offering a list of activities and amenities this summer with the Summer Blast Pass:

• Fitness Centre (Including Fitness Classes)
• Indoor Pool
• Fieldhouse
• Squash and Racquetball Courts
• Track
• Indoor Skating Rink (Including Drop-in Shinny and Stick & Puck.)

Redding says a drop-in pass is good for an entire day and one wristband is good for a whole day’s worth of activities.

The Summer Blast Pass can be purchased now through the Eastlink Centre guest services desk, calling 311, or by an online booking account available by clicking here.

The pass can be purchased for all age categories with student, family and senior rates, admitting five for the price of three and will expire on September 30, 2022.
