Brockton’s Bruce Power Regional Soccer Park has some new upgrades.
The municipality celebrated the opening of new accessible washrooms, changeroom, concession booth, pavilion, storage building and additional parking spaces Thursday.
A release from the municipality says it was funded through the federal government’s Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program which put forward about $350,000. The provincial government contributed about $293,000.
The municipality says, “Soccer in the Municipality of Brockton has grown exponentially, and the Bruce Power Regional Soccer Park continues to provide opportunities for more than 600 players from age four to adults.”
Mayor Chris Peabody says in a statement, “We are incredibly grateful for the ICIP Grant funding to be able to provide these new facilities that enhance and make a more enjoyable and accommodating environments for all players and visitors of the Bruce Power Soccer Park.”
Director of Community Services Colleen Gillis says, “Investing in community infrastructure is essential for a growing community and fostering local sports, recreation and healthy lifestyles.”
The new facility at the Bruce Power Regional Soccer Park has been in operation since opening early July. There are 5 full
fields and 4 mini fields with the primary user being Walkerton Football Club.
