The Nation Sports Complex in Limoges

In August 2021, La Nation council approved a budget of $14.5 M for the new Nation Sports Complex in Limoges. The municipality has conducted a $1 million Nation Gets in Shape fundraising campaign.

Work began in September 2021 on the multi-sport, indoor facility at 243 Limoges Road which includes a soccer field two-thirds of FIFA regulation size, a 250 meter walking track, and a community center hall, which can accommodate up to 150 people.

The facility was opened in March 2023.

At this time, several clubs are using the field and the Nation Recreation Department is accepting reservations for soccer, lacrosse, baseball, football and other leagues to use the play fields. The fields and the community hall (GFL Hall) can also be reserved for families or individuals.

Note that the track is free for 2025 and 2026.
