Once the heat was shut off in 2003 the buildings quickly molded so they really cannot be reused. The whole site is contaminated this way. October 26th, 2005 - Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly wants to tear down to build a stadium for Commonwealth Games (if they win the bid) and a future football stadium. December 24, 2007 - "The future of Shannon Park, the former military residential complex in Dartmouth that was slated to be the main location of the ill-fated 2014 Commonwealth Games, remains in limbo." --Chronicle Herald Business Section (Halifax) July 23, 2011 - Announced that half of the complex will be torn down in a couple months. (October 20th, 2014 - Still has yet to happen..) October 20th(ish), 2014 - Noticed that CLC has had all building re-sealed on the bottom levels. None of the building's on site are currently accessible to anyone.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries maZe first visit Tue, Jan 18th, 2005 posted by maZe 20 pictures Shannon Park Tue, Apr 12th, 2005 posted by hades 14 pictures Aerial photo Tue, Jun 20th, 2006 posted by alps 1 pictures 13 & 16 April 2014 Fri, Apr 18th, 2014 posted by symph 15 pictures April 2014 Fri, Apr 18th, 2014 posted by tbeckerson 20 pictures May 2014 Tue, Jun 3rd, 2014 posted by tbeckerson 20 pictures Steam Plant Tue, Jul 1st, 2014 posted by tbeckerson 16 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
