The Town of Antigonish is investigating damage to the Central Turf Field that occurred over the weekend of April 11-12, 2026. The town issued a public warning on April 14, 2026, after discovering tire tracks on the state-of-the-art artificial turf surface, which appear to have been made by an all-terrain vehicle.
The Recreation Department has described the field as an important community asset that serves as a hub for local sports and public events. Officials noted that damage of this nature, whether intentional or accidental, risks limiting access for the many residents and groups who rely on the facility for recreation.
Mayor Sean Cameron has spoken out regarding the incident, which has prompted town staff to reach out to the community for assistance. At this time, no suspects have been identified.
The town is asking anyone who may have been in the area over the weekend or who has information about the damage to contact the Recreation Department by email at [email protected]. Residents are encouraged to monitor the official Town of Antigonish Recreation Facebook page for further updates regarding the condition of the field and any potential changes to facility access.
