Heavy Metal Place is the single largest project the City of Spruce Grove has ever done.

The concept for Heavy Metal Place (previously called the Civic Centre project) was originally proposed as a Multi-use Sport and Event Centre. In response to ongoing stakeholder feedback and a community needs assessment, as well as the financial implications of a larger Event Centre concept, the City re-evaluated the vision for the facility to become a more community-focused, multi-purpose Civic Centre that would help fulfill the needs of sports, recreation, arts, and culture.

Heavy Metal Place includes a new branch of the Spruce Grove Public Library, the Spruce Grove Allied Arts Council and art gallery space, a black box theatre, a community arena, and a spectator arena that is the home to the Spruce Grove Saints hockey club! There is also a dedicated program room, a walking track, and it's home to the co-located Spruce Grove Transit Centre.

Heavy Metal Place is located at 50 Westwind Drive in the Westwind development.

This project was made possible through the support of several partners including the Government of Alberta’s Municipal Sustainability Initiative, a funding contribution from Parkland County, and other collaborators and groups.
