More fields are needed, not less! Soccer is the largest growing sport in Canada, almost 2-1 to hockey now. All you need is a ball, players, and of course the most important part, the field.
The town cannot afford to lose these fields as they are vital in the community. The community's young families have a growing number of kids playing soccer which will demand more fields not less.
More important than cramming a 'new' school in there is keeping places for children to play. How many times do we need to see the research to understand this is a fact. Do not move that school. Fix it...leave the soccer pitches for the children.
We worry not only about losing our soccer fields, but also having more high density housing built near and along Wilson Street. Our roads are already congested and our soccer fields (and hockey pads) are already booked to the limit!!
If we loose this green space I hope there is another where the children of this growing community will be able to come together to learn such strong 'team player' values. Loosing this space may be detrimental to one of the best sports programs available to our children
With Ancaster’s growth in houses, green space and recreation spaces such as the soccer fields are needed more than ever. Let’s keep what we have.
100% support this. As a child used these fields and remember having the time of my life.

Save the soccer fields! I have four kids and all of them use and play soccer there. It’s very important to this community to not change the use of those lands. Thank you
