As far as the location goes I have no problem with either of the 2 sites mentioned but would prefer Dartmouth Crossing over Shannon Park.
The fourplex in Bedford has many shortcomings. The ref change rooms are very small and in a poor location. All of the seating "as limited as it is" is poorly designed. The rinks and 4 in a row so common areas and services are limited or non-existant.

The Canada Games Field House falls short with the pool for both polo and aquatics. The pool needed to be 30m for polo and 25m for swimming. The pool is 25m eliminating polo. The problem with 25m is that 25m is required between bumpers. This pool is exactacly 25m so when bumpers are added the pool does not qualify for short course meets. The pool needed to be 27m but no one picked up on it. Let's hope that the stadium has a better QA process.
