Raising the Bar: Peak Athletic Centre Unveils Elite Facility Ahead of Fall 2025 Launch

August 7, 2025

Sherwood Park is about to become a premier destination for high-performance training and recreation with the opening of Peak Athletic Centre—a state-of-the-art indoor sports facility designed to elevate how athletes train, recover, and compete. Set to open its doors in Fall 2025, Peak is more than just a place to play—it’s a purpose-built training environment that blends cutting-edge infrastructure with a deep commitment to athlete development.

A Game-Changing Multi-Sport Facility

The centre boasts a versatile setup designed for both volleyball and pickleball, catering to recreational and competitive players alike. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Three full-size volleyball courts ideal for practices, leagues, and development camps

  • A central competition court, offering enhanced spacing, seating, and visibility for matches and showcase events

  • Four indoor pickleball courts that transform the space into a hub for one of Canada’s fastest-growing sports

  • A fully equipped team room/classroom, available to book for mental performance sessions, nutrition workshops, game film reviews, coach meetings, and more

From day one, Peak has been designed to meet the diverse needs of the volleyball and pickleball communities, with professional-grade equipment, clean sightlines, and flexible programming hours tailored to athletes of all levels.

Flooring That Matches the Ambition

What truly sets Peak Athletic Centre apart is its world-class flooring system—an investment in athlete safety, comfort, and performance.

The entire court area is outfitted with Tarkett Sports’ Lumaflex Pro substructure, paired with Omnisports Compact 2mm vinyl surface. This combination is trusted by elite facilities across North America and certified by FIBA and ASTM for top-level competition.

“The Lumaflex system provides a level of shock absorption and responsiveness that’s essential for reducing long-term wear and tear on athletes’ joints,” says the facility’s Director of Operations. “We want our athletes training on a surface that doesn’t just perform well—but helps them perform better.”

The Lumaflex Pro system offers:

  • Maximum energy return for explosive movement

  • High shock absorption to reduce injury risk during intense training

  • Durability and versatility for multi-sport usage

  • Optimal traction and feel underfoot, creating consistency for every athlete

Whether you’re running high-performance volleyball camps or casual pickleball sessions, this flooring provides an unmatched athletic experience for users of all levels.

Creating a Culture of Preparation and Progress

Beyond the physical space, Peak Athletic Centre aims to become a hub for purpose-driven training. The integration of classroom space for off-court development and recruitment readiness reflects a modern approach to sport—where video analysis, mental performance, nutrition education, and goal setting are part of the training journey.

“Too often, athletes only get one piece of the puzzle,” explains the centre’s team. “We’re building an environment that connects all the dots—on and off the court.”

Technology & Training Tools That Elevate Performance

Peak Athletic Centre isn’t just raising the bar physically—it’s also introducing a new level of technical integration to support data-driven and visual learning for today’s athletes.

From day one, the facility will feature:

  • Video playback & filming capabilities for breakdowns, corrections, and recruitment footage

  • Smart TVs & mounted viewing monitors for in-session analysis and team meetings

  • Stat-tracking tools to log progress, performance benchmarks, and individual growth

  • Classroom space dedicated to off-court learning, including scouting reports, goal setting, and recovery education

These tools allow coaches to teach more effectively and give athletes the opportunity to see what they feel, providing real-time feedback that fast-tracks improvement.

“We’re building a program where athletes don’t just show up and play—they understand their game. They leave every session with a clearer sense of what to improve and how to do it,” says the centre’s coaching staff.

This level of training integration is unmatched in the region, making Peak the ideal setting for athletes serious about reaching the next level, whether that’s club, collegiate, or national competition.

What’s Next?

With an exciting lineup of volleyball camps, skill-based clinics, and pickleball programming on deck for Fall 2025, Peak Athletic Centre is quickly positioning itself as a leading-edge sports destination in Alberta. Registration details, schedules, and training tracks will be released later this summer.
