Wanderers Grounds

History

Wanderers Grounds is a sporting complex in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and home to professional soccer clubs HFX Wanderers FC and Halifax Tides FC of the Canadian Premier League and Northern Super League respectively. The grounds are part of the Halifax Commons. The land was used in the 1880s by the Halifax Wanderers Amateur Athletic Club (WAAC) and was their home grounds for the sports of rugby and lawn bowling. Leased to the club in the 1800s, the club failed to pay its lease fees during the Second World War and the land's use reverted to the City of Halifax (Halifax Regional Municipality) who have maintained it since then.
