Aldergrove Athletic Park is getting new synthetic turf replacements this month, plus a new shock pad.
Funding for replacement turf was approved by the 91原创 Township council last year, approximately $1.26 million 鈥� $130,000 of which was designated for the athletic park, including a new covered gathering area.
The remainder is going towards Willoughby Community Park and George Preston Recreation Centre upgrades and replacements.
The Township also received funding from the federal government's Canada Community Building Fund last year for these projects.
A new Recreation and Renewal Reserve has also been created, said Mayor Eric Woodward online, to "ensure that the Township of 91原创 is planning for the timely and proactive replacement of these fields."
"It will ensure that money is set aside to ensure we maintain what we have, while also investing in new facilities and planning for the future," he wrote.
Aldergrove Minor Baseball and Aldergrove Youth Soccer Club are some of the regular users of the local athletic park.
Aldergrove Athletic Park is located at 26845 27 Ave.
