Track and Field excited for future as City prepares to take over Rotary Bowl
NANAIMO — School board trustees have signed off on the sale of Rotary Bowl and Serauxmen Stadium and user groups are now eager to plan for their future.
Only the rubber stamp of the Ministry of Education is needed to finalize the sale of nearly 15 acres of land and the two rec facilities to the City of Nanaimo. The $4.1 million deal is expected to be put into action in June.
Earlier this week, Council directed staff to begin working on agreements with Nanaimo Minor Baseball and Nanaimo Track and Field Club.
“We’re really excited and we want to engage as soon as possible and keep the future bright,” Tyler Heisterman, president of the track and field club, said. “There are some specific things we like to have at the track for safety and the reasons of our club.”
