Kingston Memorial Centre

Kingston Memorial Centre, Community center in Kingston, Canada.

Kingston Memorial Centre is a community facility featuring an ice rink, outdoor pool, sports fields, and a track for various athletic activities. The complex provides different venues and spaces for recreation and public events.

The land was acquired by the British Government in 1841 and sold to the City of Kingston in 1897 for $17,000. The Crystal Palace, built in 1858, was moved to the site's southeast corner at York and Alfred and re-erected in 1880. In November 1944 the city passed a by-law for a community memorial centre and authorized $100,000 in debentures, but funds were withheld until the building committee raised $225,000 from the community. The centre opened in 1951 as a living memorial to Kingstonians who died in both world wars and the Korean War.

The Kingston Fall Fair, run by the Kingston and District Agricultural Society, has been held over four days each September since the society reorganized in 1925; the fair itself traces back to 1830 and is Ontario's second oldest. It draws over 16,000 visitors and hosts the largest dairy show in Ontario. The Crystal Palace, built in 1858 and re-erected at York and Alfred in 1880, stands on the site.

The arena sits at 303 York Street, with the grounds stretching east, north and west of the building; the war memorial, barns, softball diamonds, cinder track and off-leash dog park are all on the same property. The outdoor aquatic centre is seasonal, so check opening times for each area before visiting.

The Crystal Palace, built in 1858 and moved to the site's southeast corner at York and Alfred in 1880, is a detail most visitors miss. The grounds also held a half-mile track, grandstand and poultry, dairy and horse barns shown on a 1915 fire insurance map.
