Thunderbird fields being redeveloped
Vancouver Courier
Published: Thursday, March 20, 2008
VANCOUVER - Two artificial fields, a baseball diamond, running track and greenway are among the amenities planned for the redevelopment of Thunderbird fields at the University of B.C.
The fields are east of Thunderbird Stadium, north of 16th Avenue between East Mall and Wesbrook Mall.
"We have to move our baseball team's practice facility from Nat Bailey Stadium to the campus because of the logistics of getting there," said Bob Philip, director of athletics and recreation at UBC.
"It's something we planned to do quite a while ago, to build an artificial field and to build a baseball park that could be used by our team and also as a recreational facility."
The fields are now being used for various purposes by the university and the community, including intramural soccer, varsity soccer, and field hockey. Philip doesn't expect the uses to change.
