The Township of Langley Council has greenlit the first phase of the Smith Athletic Park – Youth Soccer Campus project in Willoughby, backed by $60 million in funding. This phase involves constructing access roads, utilities, site preparations, three new playing fields, a dog park, and a playground, addressing the growing demand for youth soccer facilities. Mayor Eric Woodward highlighted the urgency of expanding recreational capacity to cater to the community’s needs, with many children on soccer waitlists. The project’s financing comes from Community Amenity Contributions and Development Cost Charges, with future developments including additional facilities to be discussed.
