Construction of Oakville's new state-of-the-art sports park, currently known as North Park, began with the official ground-breaking ceremony in July 2008. The 79-hectare sports park, located on the west side of Neyagawa Boulevard, north of Dundas Street will be completed in phases.
Phase 1A includes the development of a quad pad arena - recently named Sixteen Mile Sports Complex. It features a 1,500-seat Olympic-sized ice surface and three NHL-sized ice pads, scheduled for completion in September 2010. Check out the naming contest news release.
Phase 1A also includes a sports park with two lit soccer fields - one with artificial turf and one with natural grass - scheduled to open in spring 2011.
Phase 1B includes a sports park with soccer fields, cricket pitch, leash-free dog zone, BMX/skateboard facility, splash pad, playground and other park amenities.
Phase 2 includes a community centre and library facility. The development of the north parcel of land will primarily focus on outdoor sports fields and passive areas.
