RBJ Schlegel Park
#1
I just lost the initial post I was working on so this will be a quick version.

Large Park in the southwest area of Kitchener (Fischer-Hallman and Huron Rd).

Master plan :

Proposed phase 2 would create the largest sports Park in Kitchener. If the land purchase is completed the park would be 76 acres.

Will that be the first cricket pitch in the region?

There was one at Laurel Creek conservation area I thought too.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

I didn't realize that the land had not been fully assembled.  I'm also a bit surprised that the school board would have that kind of excess acreage sitting around.

Is that an official pitch or is it just used as one?

Looks official enough - the grass is groomed into a rough oval, for example.

Possible contamination on the park lands could inflate the project cost.

Is it "sponsorship" or donation?  To me, sponsorship connotes a name that will only be used for a specific period of time.

Donation, then; I think this is intended to be permanent (like the RIM in RIM Park).

This is a good news story....obviously this donation helped to speed up the process up building something out there.
