Wondering what all the fuss is about at M.A. Sills Park these last few days?
Seems the city has put shovel into ground to start the new artificial turf field and parking lot project at the west end athletic complex.
As I write this, big machines are moving earth and digging holes. Soon, an artificial turf field will be installed to accommodate football, soccer and rugby, allowing teams to start their outdoor seasons earlier and end them later.
Plus, the idea to put the parking lot AT THE BACK of the complex makes sense. Harder Drive is busy enough, especially on school days and during weekend soccer tournaments.
Eventually, the complex will include a field house too. Lights for the turf field are also in the works and local high school coaches are already excited about the future possibility of Friday night football under the lights.
With yet another recent Canadian health and fitness study revealing that our children are too often fat and lazy, the recreation facilities boom in Belleville should be embraced by all.
Get your kids outside and involved in sports.
We already have several decent athletic and recreational facilities. Now we're getting more.
