Construction for the new electrical building has finished.
Canada Games Oval
 New construction work will commence in late August/early September 2010, in the southeast corner (Cogswell and North Park) to ready the area for the installation of the temporary long track speed skating oval. The Canada Games organizing committee, in cooperation with HRM, will use the North Common as the venue for long track speed skating in 2011. Construction will continue through the fall with the plan to open the completed facility to the public in December 2010.
The effected playing fields will be reinstated over the summer of 2011 and are scheduled to be back, new and improved, ready for use in the fall of 2011.
