Hometown Hockey construction on track; some parking interruptions planned
NANAIMO – Preparations continue for the Rogers Hometown Hockey Event in Nanaimo on Feb. 25 and 26.
Work is being done at Maffeo-Sutton Park, where most of the festivities will be, according to parks operations manager Al Britton.
“Right now we are creating an outdoor skating rink at Maffeo-Sutton Park,” he said. “Then we’ll also be creating a floating platform in the middle of Swy-a-lana Lagoon with a zip line going over head.”
Pieces of the floating dock will be delivered on Monday and Wednesday, so parking in the roundabout will be unavailable until 4 p.m. on both days. Britton said they’re asking for some co-operation as they try to limit the impact on visitors to the park.
