Transcona Parks are vibrant and a critical component to building community. Parks offer a space for play, recreation, athletics, and social interaction, so it is important to keep Winnipeg`s parks functional and complimentary to growing communities.

Updates
Transcona Stadium
Dedicated in 1972, Transcona Stadium is receiving a major overhaul. City staff have worked with users of the Red River Valley Sports League on determining the best route to rehabilitating the site.
- The original bleachers were no longer safe and have been replaced with a modern, 10-row, aluminum bleacher unit - $16,000.00
- The new bleachers are built on a gravel pad that can also accommodate wheelchairs and strollers - $7,000.00
- The scoreboard building will be painted and renewed - $46,618.16 (completion date spring 2018)
- Electrical upgrades - $4,000 (completion date February 2018)
- The backstop will be replaced and sodded, along with the mesh foul ball nets and players boxes - $110,989.00 (estimated completion mid-December 2017)
- Flooding of the field after heavy rain events will be decreased through additional infield mix - $18,000.00 (work likely to begin in mid-May 2018)
- Storage garage upgrades - $35,000 (completion date February 2018)
The value of the bleacher and backstop replacement with infield improvements is $152,000.00, funded by $43,000.00 parks capital and $109,000.00 of Land dedication Reserve.
