29.5 million for city sports fields

The city is putting $29.5 million into improving its sports fields which this item says are scarce and in poor shape. Granted, sports fields need ongoing maintenance, but it doesn’t seem all that long ago that Denis Coderre also made similar announcements. Did his administration do less than it promised to do?

Certainly, Jarry Park has been largely subdivided into sports areas – skateparks, basketball courts, soccer fields, cricket grounds, and multiple baseball diamonds. The non-sports-dedicated parts of the park have been shrinking every year. Maybe it’s an anomaly?
