Stouffville moves forward with new partner for Ballantrae Multi-Sport Complex

The Town of Stouffville has announced a new chapter for the long-anticipated Ballantrae Multi-Sport Complex.

After extensive efforts and two years of working closely with the former leaseholder to see this facility constructed, the town has formally terminated the lease agreement with Ballantrae Sports Group. In its place, a new partnership has been finalized with Mentana Group, a company with a proven track record in delivering high-quality community sport and recreation infrastructure.

This transition reflects the town’s steadfast commitment to delivering key recreational infrastructure for residents. “We made a commitment to this community, and we have worked diligently to honour it,” said Mayor Iain Lovatt. “After exhausting every option with the previous leaseholder, it became clear that a new direction was required to ensure the delivery of this much-needed facility.”

Detailed design work will be completed in the coming months, and shovels are expected to be in the ground late summer to support indoor play for the 2026 season. Updated architectural renderings are available on the town’s website at townofws.ca/multisportcomplex.

It will feature a dynamic and flexible design to accommodate a wide range of sports and community programming. At a high level, it will include a FIFA regulation soccer pitch which can be divided into smaller indoor turf fields, multi-use courts, fitness spaces, and amenities designed for all ages and abilities.

The town remains committed to collaborating with user groups to ensure their needs are met during and after construction.
