Facilities

The Flin Flon Parks and Recreation Commission has several facilities under its jurisdiction:

Affiliated Facilities / Curling Clubs
The Uptown Curling Club and Willowpark Curling Club operate solely through their respective board of directors, but do liaise with Parks and Recreation dealing with lease arrangements, grants, and capital projects.

Ball Parks
Centoba Park currently has four fastball diamonds for use. Major renovations at Centoba Park have occurred with still more plans being made to improve the field conditions. Also available for fastball or hardball is Lakeside Park.

Foster Park
A 250 meter track is used by local track and field groups, the Flin Flon School Division, and for special events. This track was resurfaced in 2009.

Outdoor Rinks
Outdoor rinks are currently in existence at Birchview, North Avenue, Centennial, South Hudson, Dominion, Alder, Creekside, and the Trailer Court. The flooding is done by staff, but the day-to-day shoveling and cleaning is to be carried out by local residents. The rinks are usually in operation from December to March as weather permits.

Parks – Playgrounds – Grass Areas

Fifteen children's playgrounds are maintained by Parks staff as are several green areas scattered throughout the city. Many of these playgrounds were updated in 2009/2010 including new sod and play structures. Flower planting is carried out by staff.
