indoorfield

The following petition has been created by local sports enthusiasts and is now available online.

 

We, the residents of Owen Sound and the surrounding area who play sports that require a field, request an indoor artificial turf field upon which to play our sports during the winter months.

Owen Sound lacks a proper indoor facility where sports such as soccer, lacrosse, baseball, ultimate frisbee, lawn bowling, rugby, golf and others can be played and practiced during the winter. This prevents many from participating in the sports they love for much ofthe year or forces them to play in small, poorly suited facilities with hard surfaces which can cause injuries.

Sport has the capacity to build community, develop personal character, better human health outcomes, provide cultural enrichment and deliver economic benefits. Therefore, an indoor sports field would significantly improve the quality of life in this city. We ask that the City of Owen Sound update its Recreation, Parks and Facilities Master Plan to ensure that an indoor artificial turf field is constructed as soon as possible.

This petition will be presented to the City of Owen Sound. If you would like to see an indoor artificial turf field in Owen Sound, please sign below. Thank you for your support!

Please contact your friends, family, sports league, and Owen Sound city council to encourage them to support this facility and petition as well.
