Vision 2020

The foundation of PUSHA is based on the nearly 30 years of history of the Founding Directors with Punjab United Soccer Club. In addition to sports club and tournament fields, which complement existing City of Edmonton’s Multi-Sport Tournament & Recreation Site (MTRS) plans, PUSHA will, over a period of ten years, build and manage fields to accommodate major Asian sports tournaments, a community facility that will include a clubhouse, indoor gymnasium, and meeting rooms for Partner Organizations. All the fields and buildings will be designed to serve multiple purposes with input from MTRS and the professional architectural firm (Stantec). The proposed PUSHA development will be unique not only to Edmonton but it will be one-of-a-kind in Canada
 

Project Information

VISION 2020 is the flagship project to bring people together – a multi-purpose facility in a park-like setting where citizens of all ages can play and rest in concert to strengthen the community spirit. Located in south Edmonton the PUSHA Community Sports & Recreation Centre will be the centerpiece icon with a dynamic space full of activity, energy and vitality. This will be a place where all are welcome – a “community hub” – where people of all ages and abilities can gather for sports and social events.
