The Yara Centre is a local sporting venue that was built in 2011 alongside the Moose Jaw Events Centre.
Built with a spacious 120,000 square foot modern indoor turf field, the Yara Centre gives residents the opportunity to stay active year-round and especially throughout the winter months.
The field can be divided into four quadrants, and each separate space can be rented out or divided up as needed to provide room for a wide selection of activities. Guests will regularly witness soccer in one corner, ultimate Frisbee in another, and any number of family activities in the remaining spaces.
Everybody is invited to come use the facility, and aside from a spacious turf area there’s a four-lane walking track at ground level, modern gym, and two multi-purpose rooms on the upper level.
The gym is located on the upper level, and features a clean, open space for your workout. There is plenty of cardio equipment available including exercise bikes, stair climbers, and treadmills. Strength training equipment covers a full-body workout including a chest press, leg press, and more.
Fitness classes vary from season to season.
