HRM playing fields to open soon

(March 30, 2011) - Spring may be in the air, but HRM's grass fields won't be ready for the busy playing season for some time.

Municipal crews have maintenance work to do before the fields can be opened for the season. Using the ball diamonds and sports fields too early can cause damage to turf that can delay season start up. As the fields have not been maintained over the winter months, they can also pose risks to users.

Both All Weather Turf Facilities (Halifax/Mainland Common and Dartmouth/Burnside) are now open and available to be scheduled.

For Scheduling information for the 2011 Season, please contact the appropriate Scheduling Office by calling 490-7100 or visit our website at
http://www.halifax.ca/rec/BookingsandRentals.html

To report any mis-use of fields or to advise of safety concerns, vandalism, etc., contact our Corporate Call Centre at 490-4000.
