Exciting Improvements at Hull Street Park!

Hull Street Park is currently undergoing field renovations, and we are thrilled about the upcoming improvements. During this period, our U10 and older recreational programs will be relocated to a different field to ensure uninterrupted play. The Mighty Dragons, U6, and U8 programs will continue at the fields not under construction unless otherwise noted.

We understand this may pose some challenges this year, but the future of our recreational program at Hull Street Park looks bright. The renovations will bring enhanced facilities, benefiting our community and players for years to come. Thank you for your understanding and support during this transition.

We are grateful for the tremendous support from our local community and look forward to seeing you on the field!
