New Chandler field open
The new Chandler Park field opened just in time for the Smithers Soccer League’s tournament last weekend. The closure of the field was lifted the Monday before Monday, two months later than expected. The pitch was to open the first week in May, but because of the lack of snow this past winter, the sod wasn’t insulated enough for it to continue to grow properly in the spring and early summer, which left the pitch unplayable.
Mark Allen, director of development services with the Town of Smithers, said they are exploring the idea of installing a fence.
“We are proceeding with requests for quotations for fencing to fence the entire perimeter … We want to keep vehicles off our investment,” he stated.
