New Rugby Goals for the City of Toronto

In search of a new set of rugby goals for one of their biggest athletic parks, the City of Toronto once again came knocking at our door. Having done a few projects together in the past, they are a group that we truly always enjoy working closely with. When the time comes to outfit an outdoor venue, we are always flattered to make the short list of potential partners. In early 2020, the city was in search of a new set of rugby goals for Eglington Flats, located in the York region. Constructed on the Humber River Floodplain in 1954, today the park is heavily focused on sports, with six soccer fields, four field hockey pitches, a football field, winterized tennis courts and of course, the rugby field.

When it came time to select the rugby goalposts, we turned to our line of Kwik Goal 2J102 rugby goals. Fitting the parameters of the field perfectly, we reached out to our local installation partners in the GTA at Worldwide Turf to aid us in perfecting the installation process. With an overall height of 36 feet, these goals can be challenging both to ship to the customer and at times, to install. Given their all-aluminum construction, a great deal of care must be taken when off-loading and utilizing the footings during the installation process.

 

 

As with many other installs we have partnered on in the past, we had the utmost confidence in the team at WorldWide Turf and had the product shipped directly to the site where their team off-loaded and installed the new goals on the same day.

Yet another successful project in the great city of Toronto and another tip of the hat to our partners and all other parties involved in making this project so successful.
