Construction Underway on Northeast Athletic Complex
Construction is officially underway on the Northeast Athletic Complex (NEAC), adding indoor and outdoor recreation capacity in one of Calgary’s fastest-growing areas.
Being built by Ledcor, the project is located at 8500 40 St. N.E.
The 35-acre, $170 million public recreation facility will serve people from northeast Calgary and across the city through Calgary’s first competition-capable cricket field, four outdoor multi-use artificial turf fields and a 162,500-square-foot indoor fieldhouse.
It will include cricket batting nets, spectator areas and team spaces as well as pathways, green spaces, picnic areas and playgrounds to support gathering, active living and community use, explains a release.
The Northeast Athletic Complex advances GamePLAN, the city’s 25-year vision and strategic framework for public recreation.

The 210,000-square-foot complex would be a first of its kind in Alexandria. Officials say the complex would expand opportunities and give local athletes more chances to compete in tournaments closer to home.
