Fieldhouse and washroom update
As part of our citywide Parks Washroom Strategy PDF file (3.5 MB), we piloted 2 new Portland Loos and installed a new drinking fountain at CRAB Park at Portside.
The fieldhouse, which was closed in October 2019, was demolished because of its condition. The Portland Loos and demolition work was funded by the 2019-2022 Capital Plan New Washrooms budget.
We are continuing to monitor the Portland Loos.
