By Frances Niblock Three hundred and fifty young Acton soccer players were the first to check out the new Acton Agricultural Society indoor soccer fa- cility in Prospect Park on Saturday one day after officials received the all- important occupancy permit from the Town. The kids werent there to play, but to have team photos taken. That didnt stop them from racing around on the state-of-the-art artificial turf, checking out the scoreboard and the new $1.9-million building. On Friday, as building inspectors carried out final checks, project manager David Dautovich said get- ting the occupancy permit from the Town is a mile- stone. Then the building is officially in possession of the Acton Agricultural So- ciety and that is a very big deal, Dautovich said, add- ing work continues on the parking lot, landscaping and any deficiencies they find. The office furniture is coming in, the protective pads for the playing service are coming and were close to be being able to play soccer on this surface, he said, adding the first game is expected to be an exhibi- tion match at 11 a.m. on Saturday, prior to a cheque presentation ceremony from Trillium Foundation, which granted the Society $100,000, to help pay for artificial turf. Interim facility manager Michael OLeary, a Town councillor whose company, Todays Ideas Inc., has been hired by the society to open the facility, said everyone involved should be very proud. The Town has been very generous in extending a mortgage for lack of a better word its a long-term loan and also the land. In 10 years when the loan is paid off, it will be basi- cally zero taxpayers dollars invested in this building, OLeary said, adding pub- lic-private partnerships are the only way that cash- strapped municipalities can build similar facilities. Actons Tracey Ferguson, who brought her three boys to have their soccer pictures taken, had a suggestion. This turf is so soft, Id like to come here in the winter to run when its cold and slippery outside. This would be great for my knees, Ferguson said. When she first heard about the building, Fergu- son thought Acton needed more ice surfaces for hock- ey, but now shes happy to hear that badminton, martial arts, field hockey, lacrosse and other sports groups are inquiring about bookings. Friday was the first time Eugene Horak, president of the Georgetown Soccer Club, had seen the building almost complete. He was very impressed. Its perfect, he said. I wouldnt change a thing. This playing surface feels great, the building is bright and well love play- ing here. Officials were taking another look at security issues after one pane of a double-glass window in the boardroom was smashed by vandals early last week. The facility will be of- ficially opened during this Septembers fall fair.
