About Us
Owned and operated by the Town of Quispamsis, the qplex is a $24 million multi-purpose recreation and conference centre, located on Randy Jones Way between Meenans Cove Road and Vincent Road. Jones, a defenceman with the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, grew up in Quispamsis.
Almost instantly, the qplex has become the focal point in the community. Residents had been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to skate on the NHL-sized 200’ x 85’ ice surface, stroll along the Aquafina indoor walking track and grab a healthy snack at the Q-Stop canteen. The YMCA/YWCA Community Centre will open in April with the family leisure and junior Olympic swimming pool and playground to follow later in June.
Four legged fans can also get a workout as the qplex boasts the one acre Homestar off-leash dog park, operational since the fall of 2009. The qplex sits next to the building once known as the Gondola Point Rec Centre, which features existing nature trails, soccer fields, tennis courts and baseball diamond. With the addition of the qplex, this area spans roughly 79 acres.
