The second annual West Coast Sportsfield Training Day, hosted by the City of Surrey and the Western Canada Turfgrass Association, was held at Cloverdale Athletic Park on Wednesday, August 20th. This year’s event attempted to shift gears (literally) after last year’s inaugural event in Langley, as it was smaller in scope and size, but not on energy or enthusiasm.
Surrey Parks, in conjunction with the WCTA, is hosting the “2014 West Coast Sportsfield Training Day and Landscape Rodeo” to be held Wednesday, August 20th in Surrey BC.
This event is a one day combination of a morning education session, hands on field maintenance demonstrations and afternoon “Fun” landscape competitions among attendees. The morning classroom presentation will take place at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre (6188 - 176th Street, Surrey BC). The remainder of the day’s activities will be located at Cloverdale Athletic Park (6330 168th Street, Surrey BC).
