Occasional Toronto: A PanAm Fence

A PanAm Fence

This is yet another pic of the back campus of University College at U of Toronto, where the field hockey events of the PanAm Games will take place starting in mid July. The lower fence is the normal fence surrounding the playing field while the tall fence has been installed for security during the games. I'm impressed that it actually has a bit of decorative detail to it. That is the Soldiers' Tower beside Hart House visible across the field and the small white tents are for the games.

Taken For Granted said...: Seems a bit early to erect tents for games that will not happen until July. Hope there is no summer storms to mess them up. Impressive fence. Is this to keep field hockey hooligans from storming the field?; June 4, 2015 at 11:05 AM

PerthDailyPhoto said...: Well that was a nice little touch Pat, don't see that too often with security fences! I think I heard that the Canadian Ice Hockey team will be playing against the USA team here in our Perth Arena, might have to investigate a bit more!; June 5, 2015 at 11:22 AM
