Only closed fields, deemed as not playable are listed on this schedule.
Fields not listed are deemed user discretion.
This field status page of the Vancouver Park board has been setup to include the participating public's help to ensure and preserve quality and longlivety of the Vancouver Park Board Grass Play Fields. All grass fields are reviewed by field maintenance staff to determine repairs, playability and closures.
“Closed” means no play to be scheduled regardless of sport or age group until the closure is lifted.
If an available field does not appear on this schedule then it is deemed to be playable “User Discretion”. Sport Associations have greater responsibility in deciding whether to play or not play on a field. Greater “discretion”, under certain conditions, is given to the play of children under the age of 11, provided it does not damage the playing field.
Grass Fields should never be played under the following conditions:
- Field is listed as Closed.
- Any element exists which could jeopardize the safety of participants.
- During heavy rain or the field is already water saturated from previous precipitation.
- Standing water (anywhere) or large muddy areas present.
- Frost or frozen areas.
If you have any questions regarding the Field Status Page (FSP) or to report damage, abuse or vandalism call: 604-257-8493.
The Park Board has charged user groups for extensive damage caused by ignoring the above criteria. In addition, if your home field is damaged as a result of playing during inclement weather, the Park Board may not be able to provide an alternative facility.
VPB recommends that Field User Groups assess their locations before playing.
GRASS FIELDS: In the event of rain, grass fields which are water saturated, have standing water, or large muddy areas on the playing surface, should not be played on. Grass Fields that are frozen, have snow or heavy frost on them, should not be played until surface conditions have thawed and drained.
SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS: Fields should not be played if there is snow present on the field. The field becomes slippery and therefore hazardous. SNOW REMOVAL CAN DAMAGE THE FIELD AND SHOULD NEVER BE ATTEMPTED. There is also the possibility that Synthetic Turf Fields can be covered in frost or possibly flooded with water. It is "Users Discretion" to determine if the facility is suitable for play at that particular time.
If you have any questions please call 3-1-1.
Thank you.

The Vancouver Park Board Field status will be updated and ready for review every Friday by 1:00pm for the following weekend. Current field status information is also available by phone at 604-473-6206 (after Friday 1:00 PM).
It is in everyone's best interest to ensure that fields are not used when conditions are unfavorable or play damages the playing surface.
Thank you for your consideration.
