Enjoy your favourite team sport on one of Vancouver's many outdoor facilities. The city has 153 playing fields ranging from regulation-size grass fields and synthetic turf to gravel fields. 

Most Park Board fields, courts, diamonds, and outdoor facilities are available for casual use on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The exception is synthetic turf fields (which require a permit), regular fields reserved by a permit-holder, and fields that are closed for maintenance.
