Chesterfield Sports Society
5847 Chesterfield Ave, Duncan, British Columbia V9L3M3
It's hard to believe how far we have come since the Chesterfield Sports Society was formed in 1996. The main impetus came in 1989 when the track at the high school was closed for competition. The community started meeting to talk about what sports facilities were needed. The whole community came together and now we have a world class sports and recreation facility that we can all be very proud of. Our Sportsplex has become the heart of our healthy community in so many ways.
