Abstract
Canby has invested considerable effort in working to best meet the parks and recreational needs of
the Canby community. This is reflected in a range of planning efforts—including the Canby Parks
Master Plan—which articulates a vision for parks and recreation in the community. There is growing
public interest in having a community center and sports field complex. Several groups have an
interest in the delivery of these services in the community including: the City of Canby, the Canby
School District, the YMCA, the Canby Area Park and Recreation District (CAPRD), and Canby Kids.
These organizations represent key stakeholder groups of the community center and provided
consider guidance throughout this study.
As proposed, the Community Center will be a 50,000 square foot multi‐purpose facility. The cost of
developing the Community Center is estimated at approximately $13.8 million to $16.3 million. The
Community Center would be capable of supporting a diverse range of athletic pursuits including
swimming, basketball, volleyball, aerobics, weight and strength training, and many others. The
facility will also have multi‐use rooms, lockers, and showers. In addition to athletics, the proposed
facility will be able to support cultural events, conferences and meetings.
Recognizing the need for detailed market information, the City of Canby contracted the University
of Oregon’s Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to conduct a market analysis and preliminary
feasibility assessment for the proposed Community Center and sports fields. This report presents
the results of CPW’s analysis and conclusions with respect to the feasibility of the proposed
community center.
