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.
