about us
What are the advantages of an artificial field?
Safety
An artificial field is safer and has less injuries than traditional grass fields.
​
Our field will also be equipped with a state-of-the-art Rugby certified shock pad to further prevent impact injuries and be Rugby Canada certified.
Cochrane High School athletes will no longer have to leave classes and travel across a railway crossing to practice on Spray Lakes Legacy Field.
More Accesible
This space will have 5 times as many usable hours as a grass field and can be used safely during and after inclement weather.
​
With a more reliable field usage hours, public and community football, rugby and soccer teams will be encouraged to book this field via RVS online booking system.
​
Lighting will increase the number of useable hours and safety of play.
​
It Makes Sense
With $1.7 million in government funding and grants and an additional $.9 million in private donations, this project represents a partnership that is building a better future for our children.
​
This space will be permanently marked for football, rugby and soccer and will be used by thousands of students who attend the tri-school's in Cochrane.
​
This project will save money on maintenance, requires no watering, grass cutting, herbicides or pesticides and no re-chalking!
