New lacrosse courts coming to Harewood neighbourhood
NANAIMO — Kids living in Harewood will soon have more chances to get out and play.
The City of Nanaimo broke ground Thursday afternoon on both a new roofed multi-purpose space and a renovated open lacrosse box at Harewood Centennial Park.
Peggy Lake, with the Harewood Neighbourhood Association, said the new play space is sorely needed.
“The youth have nothing to do in Harewood. They’re in houses on their phones and games, they’re not getting out and doing sports or getting fresh air. This will get them out of the house.”
