Recreation

City asking utility for park funds

The federal and provincial governments have still not pledged any funding for upgrades, including a new entrance, at Rockwood Park. The park has raised about $2.2 million and needs another $1.25 million to complete the work. Officials are completing the designs and tendering of the work. Meanwhile, common council is asking Saint John Energy for financial or "in-kind" support to cover costs for lighting.
