INFORMATION ON FIELD CLOSURES:
Saanich Parks enjoys a strong relationship with our home user groups on field closures. We appreciate the expertise and discretion of dozens of club executives, field coordinators, league officials, and coaches to help assess field conditions before game time to minimize damage to the field and potential for injury to players by play during poor conditions.

From time to time, conditions are such that Saanich Parks staff must close fields due to severe weather conditions, concerns for player safety, or maintenance requirements.

Parks staff (and user groups) consider the following in determining the status of sports fields:

  • Standing water
  • Frost - snow
  • Weather forecast (heavy rain, snow or freezing?)
  • Maintenance scheduling
  • Safe conditions (potholes, rutting, etc)
  • Type of use
  • Scheduled tournaments and club needs
  • Time of year (early or late season)

Saanich Parks works closely with the clubs to minimize impact to schedules, realizing that field closures impact thousands of players and that lost games are difficult to make up. We also realize that fall/winter sports are not necessarily fair-weather sports, and players (and parents) are accustomed to playing in rainy or cold conditions.

Please contact 475-5522 to enquire about sports field use or management.
