District staff have recommended an overarching site plan and redesign for the Lambrick Park Campus.

A staff report notes all park assets were designed as single-use for baseball, soccer, lacrosse, lawn bowling, and tennis, while modern active recreation facilities in other communities are now being designed as multi-sport facilities, and often include opportunities for non-sport programming.

I hope somebody tells them you can’t combine a tennis court with a baseball diamond.

What kind of non-sport programming do they have in mind? Areas for drag queen story hours?

Be interesting to know which councillors had to be convinced to "get on board" for the Lambrick Park upgrade: the facility has been a key cornerstone for literally over 50++ years of thousands of kids growing up in Gordon Head for all the sports noted, including moi (soccer).

 

As the area has only grown and will continue to do so into the future why would anyone require arm twisting to spend a few bucks (relative to the other projects) for youth/adult activities on the largest such multi-sport complex in the area in one of its most densely populated neighbourhoods?

Why does it all have to be done at once?
