Tom Hornecker Recreation Center
The Tom Hornecker Recreation Centre is conveniently located in the centre of
the Town of Nanton, accessible from both the North and
Southbound Highway #2, on 18th Street. This large
facility boasts a large ice rink for winter skating sports as
well as three regular curling ice sheets. The ice is utilized by
the Nanton Minor Hockey Association, Nanton Figure Skating Club,
Palominos Hockey Club as well as other local hockey and ringette
clubs. The dry ice surface is rented out after the skating
season for various events, such as lacrosse and specialty events
like bull riding.

Although the pool facility is completely surrounded by the
building, it is not roofed; therefore, is only open from the
long weekend in May to the long weekend in September. The pool
is home to the Nanton Marlin Swim Club and hosts swim meets as
well as the regular summer lessons program and recreation
swims. A racquetball court is also available. A concession
stand is operational all year round within the facility. The
Tom Hornecker Recreation Centre Staff is also responsible for rental of the
outdoor recreation facilities, such as the beach volleyball
court and the baseball diamonds.
