The improvements include a regulation size football field with improved wearing surface (turf field) and a grass training field. Both these would have improved subsurface drainage.
For the main field, these improvements will keep the water off the surface and allow for use of the field even in poor climate conditions. The new artificial top surface will keep the players dryer, cooler, and cleaner than a traditional field. It has been proven that a system similar to the one proposed here is safer and reduces the impact on the body’s joints. These improvements will also keep the field in top shape for years, without muddy sections, worn out grass sections and poor playing surfaces. This will allow our teams to practice more, have less fatigue and injuries, extend the field opening time, and extend the possible duration of daily use.
Involves clearing the area, building up the sub surface using an engineered drainage system that allows the field to freely drain and not hold excessive water. Then removing existing sod and soil from the existing sports field (approximately half the size of the football field).
Additional onsite infrastructure such as restrooms/changing rooms and a walking trail around the completed fields would accent this area and enhance the East Side of Saint John. Restrooms/Changing rooms, Walking
Trails, and Mor
Continue removing existing sod and soil from the existing sports field, building up the sub surface using an engineered drainage system that allows the field to freely drain and not hold excessive water. Fishing with the installation of the FieldTruf system allows the surface water to drain, so the field can be used even during weather events. This phase includes the full size football field with LED lighting towers, access fence with gates and bleachers.
