The GO Centre is the creation of four partners in sport: Edmonton Grads Basketball, Edmonton Volleyball Centre Society, Ortona Gymnastics and the University of Alberta. Together they raised $38M to build Edmonton’s landmark destination for physical activity and sport for the enjoyment of individuals, families and league teams.
The GO Centre is centrally located on the UofA South Campus. Ride the LRT for free to the grand opening!
