A petition in favour of building a new outdoor sports complex and park on Aberdeen Road in Coldstream is gaining momentum. Bill Tarr, with the Outdoor Sports User Group, says they've looked at their membership and for example, 45 percent of all soccer players live in Coldstream, but there is only one full size field in the community. Tarr says groups need proper facilities, and there are problems with some fields, like Polson Park where coaches have to pick up syringes and glass before every football game. He says the Coldstream location is ideal and the best of the 12 to 14 locations the group looked at. Tarr says 500 people signed the on-line petition in the first day.
