Sports Fields & Conditions

Field statuses will be updated daily by 2pm on weekdays and by 7:30am on weekends.

Fields are inspected daily on weekends between September and March and weekly throughout the rest of the year by the City's Park Turf Technicians. 

If any of the following conditions occur, fields may close:

• Standing water on field
• Snow pack
• Frozen field
• Ongoing field repair
• Periods of forecasted severe weather warnings

Weather is the primary reason for sports field closures. Turf damage occurs with field overuse during inclement weather. Fields may also close to complete maintenance.

If your home field is damaged as a result of play during inclement weather, the City may not be able to provide an alternative facility. In order to meet the demand for high-quality fields and to ensure a safe playing field, both weather and field conditions are regularly monitored to ensure that scheduled games do not:

• Cause abnormal damage to the field surface
• Jeopardize further scheduled use of fields
• Compromise personal safety of league players or general public

When a field is closed, it is the responsibility of sport team coaches to ensure that the field is not played upon. Any teams confirmed playing on the field may forfeit the right to play on that field for the remainder of the season.

Although fields may be open for play, weather and field conditions may deteriorate by game time. In these situations, it is the responsibility of field users to determine whether or not to resume play. Coaches are asked to avoid high use areas near the goals/infields when using fields for practices, and to not practice on wet fields. 

Eith user discretion we have empowered the user to make common sense decisions on game day time about whether or not to cancel an event on their field. We ask that if there is frozen conditions or standing water on any area of the field or it is too wet to play, to postpone and re-schedule the event. If you have to postpone an event on a field, email [email protected] to advise of the postponed date.

If you wish to reserve a field, fill out the Facility & Field Request Form.
