Much of the Indoor Sport and Recreation businesses in the trade area are representative of
small businesses. By nature, small businesses have shorter operational spans (on average)
than larger businesses, which can impact the tenancy duration and therefore commercial
demand. The fluctuating nature of small businesses, particularly those Indoor Sport and
Recreation Uses in the area, will require ongoing flexibility and capacity, in terms of
commercial tenancy opportunities, for new businesses to establish in the area in order to fill
capacity requirements left by other business closures.


A summary of the Indoor Sports and Recreation facilities within the trade area is presented
in Table 4.1 and Figure 4.1 following.
