It is a perfect answer to the increasing demands being placed on the City's other athletic fields,.

It’s a great day for the City of Fredericton and for its recreation partners in neighbouring communities.
The field has already been booked for use during the Under 18 National Club Soccer Championships to be held in Fredericton in October 2011.
