It is a good park but our concern is regarding the need for a drastically improved off leash dog area. We have travelled all across Canada and South Cowichan Community off leash Dog Park in Cobble Hill located in Quarry Nature Park, is by far the best we have seen. Cobble Hill should be contacted for a layout of what an absolutely excellent dog park can be. Our new off leash area, like Cobble Hill should feature: A large area, fully fenced and double gated. This would keep dogs contained and safe from cars. Also it would keep them away from children in their play area and away from people who don’t want contact with dogs. This area should have trees so it is aesthetically pleasing and they would also provide shade. There should be a well maintained grass area and maybe some gravel area too. There should be benches so elderly and physically challenged people can sit. There should be a shelter so people can sit out of the rain.

  • Sport and the Victorian City
    Sport and the Victorian City: The development of commercialised spectator sport, Bradford 1836-1908 David Pendleton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of De Montfort University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Abstract This study is a history of popular spectator sport in the city of Bradford between the years 1836 and 1908. Its major aim is to chart and analyse the experience of Bradford in relation to the national development of sport in the modern city and how spectator sport, in particular, helped shape personal and civic identities in a bourgeoning industrial community. This project builds on a growing body of work on the development of sport and leisure in British towns and cities during the nineteenth century. Furthermore, it will both complement earlier studies on sport in Bradford and West Yorkshire and add to our understanding of how urban sporting and leisure cultures were forged through a combination of national trends and local economic and social peculiarities. The emergence of a national sporting culture ran parallel with an exponential acceleration in urbanisation, the adoption of the factory system, regularised working hours and growth in disposable income. Bradford’s sporting culture, however, was also a product of the city’s shifting social structures, which had been shaped by its unique economy. As a consequence, Bradford also played a significant role in determining the national sporting culture as well as reflecting wider trends. !i Bradford’s move from an essentially pre-industrial sporting landscape towards a recognisably modern one took place over a period of little more than fifty years.

  • 1867 to 1884 - CHALLENGE LACROSSE
    1867 to 1884 - CHALLENGE LACROSSE It was a very different game back in the 19th Century. It was field lacrosse, the sticks were wooden and players wore baseball caps but nothing for protection. Matches were not timed. Instead the first team to win three games (score three goals) won the contest. When timed lacrosse was introduced it lasted for 4 twenty minute quarters. The goals initially consisted of two poles. Eventually a cross bar and net were added. There were four different playing positions: home, midfield, defence and goaltender. The home players were responsible for most of the scoring, like a soccer striker. Midfielders had to be the most versatile, especially the centreman. He took the draws and quarterbacked the offence. Defencemen obviously played defence - without the advantage of today's long stick. The goaltender was very different from the modern game. He wore no protective padding and normally held his stick at shoulder height. When facing a clear shot he would move out of his crease to cut down the shooting angle or charge the shooter in the hope of blocking the shot or creating a turnover. One other key difference: there were no rules governing player movement. This allowed defencemen, even goalkeepers to constantly rush up field. It also meant that a team clinging to a lead could pack all their runners into the defensive end. Native Canadians had always played the game. For Canadians of European descent, it started in Montreal in the 1860s. In 1866 the National Lacrosse Association, later National Lacrosse Union (N. L. U.) was formed and a pennant provided for competition.
