Gonkplex

The Algonquin Athletic Complex, or ‘Gonkplex, is a proposed renovation to our current athletic facilities. Visit Gonkplex.org for more info, and stay tuned for future updates!

Court surfacing is under way, which marks the final coat before they are painted!

Here are some drone shots of the Gonkplex! The base course of pavement for the track and finish stone for the stadium field has been placed, while the Multi-Purpose Field is prepped for the first layer of stone.

Fences have been put up on the Courts! Meanwhile, the gravel base for the track has been installed. Progress continues…

While the courts continue to rest, placement of geofabric and the base layer of stone has begun on the Stadium Field! Meanwhile, the Multi-Purpose Field has been sub graded and drains are being installed.

Installation for drains on the stadium field has begun, while things are flattening out on the multi-purpose field.

The top course of asphalt was placed down on the courts today! This layer will take a couple of weeks to set before the final colored surface is placed down.

Pathways are being put down on the courts, while digging has continued on both fields.

Fence posts and sleeves have been added to the courts to close out Week 5!

Crews have begun digging up the Stadium & Multi-Purpose Fields!

Progress continues as the first course of asphalt for the Tennis, Basketball, and Pickleball Courts was put down today!

Crews continued to work on the courts today, creating a slight slope for drainage. Preventing water from building up will help extend the lifespan of the new athletic complex!

The courts are looking flat as Week 4 comes to a close!

Taking a deeper dive into what is going on this week, much of the dirt that has been dug up is being put into this large grading machine

Work has steadily continued throughout week 3! The grounds continue to be prepped before the fields are dug up.

Week 3: The goalposts have come down! The remaining 2 Light Towers were also taken down, and debris continues to be cleared 🏗️

Week 2 of construction comes to a close, as things continue to progress on the courts! Thank you to the hard working crew for their continued efforts 🦺

With the stands being down, the back of the school is fully visible from the field! The dirt is piling up quickly as work continues on the future courts 🎾 🏀
