Sixteen Mile Branch Project

Oakville Public Library (OPL) is excited to be part of the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex Development

About the Project  

The future new Sixteen Mile Branch will open in February 2026, as part of the Town of Oakville’s Sixteen Mile Sports Complex Development Project which will include a new recreation and culture facility, library and park spaces. The new complex and library branch will be located at 3070 Neyagawa Boulevard, Oakville. 

The new branch will be 18,000+ square feet, and offer a variety of work, study, collaboration and creative spaces; reading and conversation areas; children’s spaces including a dedicated outdoor children’s play area; a teen area; programming spaces; robust print and media collections; public access computers, Wi-Fi and creative equipment. 

The new Sixteen Mile complex overall will be 65,000+ square feet consisting of the existing sports complex, the new library branch plus a community centre with aquatic facilities; fitness/active living centre; flexible multi-use spaces for seniors, youth and cultural programming; and gymnasiums.

Timeline 

March 2025

Major construction of the Sixteen Mile community centre and library is scheduled to be completed by November 2025, with staff moving in and preparing the building for opening to the public in February 2026, offering the following: 

  • Oakville Public Library services including access to collections, programs, and creative spaces  

  • Community centre facility rentals and drop-in programming, including fitness and aquatics 

  • New registered Recreation & Culture programs will begin in the spring session, including March Break camps 

September 2023

The Town of Oakville is making progress on the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex expansion! 

  • The community centre and library construction that is occurring underground, including mechanical work in the basement, footing and foundation walls, is nearly finished.  

  • The ground floor foundation is underway, and the community centre and library’s structural steel frame will begin construction in mid-December 2023. 

June 2023

On Monday, June 19, 2023, Town Council approved budget amendments to the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex development project, which allowed the project to move into the construction phase. JR Certus has been hired and will begin putting up hoarding signs around the construction site on June 22, 2023. 

The outdoor fitness circuit will be removed so the Sixteen Mile community centre and library can begin construction. New outdoor fitness equipment will be installed at the community park in fall 2024. 

December 2022

Full library services have resumed at the current Sixteen Mile Branch location at the North Operations Depot facility (3250 Neyagawa Blvd, Oakville). This is a temporary location until the opening of the new Sixteen Mile Branch in 2026. Residents may also see some construction taking place this month near Sixteen Mile Sports Complex where the community park is being planned. During the winter, construction of the park fieldhouse will start, and park construction will resume in the spring of 2023.

June 2022

Oakville Public Library will temporarily close the current Sixteen Mile Branch on June 4, 2022, to accommodate the start of the parks’ construction for the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex Development. The current Sixteen Mile Branch will close for approximately three months and is scheduled to reopen in mid-September at a new temporary location at the North Operations Depot facility (3250 Neyagawa Blvd, Oakville).
