The field is expected to open in September. Both the concrete slab pitch and its artificial turf covering have already been installed. Despite a wet summer, few delays have been experienced during the construction process.
The oval field will be somewhat smaller than a regulation-size field. It will measure 100 metres by 90 metres and will be conducive to “softball” cricket games. A regulation-size field – which measures 140 metres by 150 metres – accommodates “hardball” cricket.
The construction tender, award to Latitude 67 Ltd., was for $99,780.77.
