Sport Field Strategy

On June 10, 2024, the Vancouver Park Board approved the Sport Field Strategy. This plan will guide our approach to sport fields over the next 10 years.
 
Throughout the project, we engaged with the Vancouver School Board, Vancouver Field Sport Federation, local sports organizations, and the public. This input helped us tailor the strategy to meet the needs of diverse communities across the city.

Participants highlighted areas for improvement, including:

  • Upgrading amenities
  • Enhancing neighbourhood fields
  • Creating hub-like facilities
  • Improving field access
