Ongoing June rain has lead to increased nuisance mosquito activity. City crews are actively treating low lying wet areas to help keep populations at tolerable levels.

Track upgrades
Throughout the summer of 2024, we replaced the track’s sub-surface and rubber overlay, installed inside lane curbing, and created barrier-free access throughout the amenity. These upgrades allow for Woody’s Athletic Park to achieve World Athletics Certification. Obtaining this certification will allow groups to host provincial, national and even international competitions.
How the track got its name
The renaming of the amenity to Woody’s Athletic Park occurred in 2023, following a personal financial contribution by long-time resident, Woody Paylor. An opening cerebration was hosted Spring of 2025 unveiling the new amenity.
