Beryl Gaffney Park Cricket Pitch

Project Overview

There has been a long-standing need to develop a full-size cricket pitch in Ottawa to meet the growing demands of the cricket sporting community. Beryl Gaffney Park has been identified as a prime site for this facility, as the park features an extensive open green space that can accommodate the required field dimensions and orientation of a full-size cricket pitch. Beryl Gaffney Park is also accessible and centrally located to serve the growing cricket sporting community.

The project will include:

• A Cricket Pitch of 100 meters by 125 meters with an additional 10 meters of level run out area around the pitch.
• The existing gravel parking lot will be expanded to add 22 new parking spaces. For a total of 62 spaces.
• Relocation of the existing stone dust pathway that crosses the open space to connect with other pathways in Berly Gaffney Park.
• Relocation of the two commemorative benches along pathway.
• Installation of chain link fence to keep pedestrians separate and protected from the field.
• An accessible, shaded picnic area with picnic tables
• Granular base for a future cricket equipment storage shed.
