RBJ Schlegel Park - rangersfan - 06-29-2017

I just lost the initial post I was working on so this will be a quick version.

Large Park in the southwest area of Kitchener (Fischer-Hallman and Huron Rd).

Master plan :

Proposed phase 2 would create the largest sports Park in Kitchener. If the land purchase is completed the park would be 76 acres.

Will that be the first cricket pitch in the region?

Waterloo Park has one near the tennis courts.

There was one at Laurel Creek conservation area I thought too.

And one in Preston at the Dumfries Conservation Area park.

I didn't realize that the land had not been fully assembled.  I'm also a bit surprised that the school board would have that kind of excess acreage sitting around.

Is that an official pitch or is it just used as one?


RE: South Kitchener District Park - KevinL - 06-29-2017

Looks official enough - the grass is groomed into a rough oval, for example.

Article from CBC regarding the new Park and how the city is looking for input from the community.

Possible contamination on the park lands could inflate the project cost.

Is it "sponsorship" or donation?  To me, sponsorship connotes a name that will only be used for a specific period of time.

Donation, then; I think this is intended to be permanent (like the RIM in RIM Park).

This is a good news story....obviously this donation helped to speed up the process up building something out there.
