South Fish Creek Recreation Association

Cardel Rec South is a community-based recreational center located in Shawnessy. The idea for the center was first proposed by a group of concerned community members in the mid-1990s. They believed that a center like this would be a valuable resource for the community, providing a place for people to participate in sports, fitness, and other recreational activities. The process of turning this vision into a reality was not easy, but the community was determined and worked hard to make it happen. Finally, in January 2001, the first phase of the center opened to the public. This phase included two ice rinks, a gym, and a few meeting rooms. The center has likely undergone additional development and expansion since its initial opening, but the core mission of providing a place for community members to come together and participate in recreational activities remains the same.
