Outdoor Sports Facilities Terms & Conditions

Outdoor sports facilities are mainly booked through the Sports Field Allocation process. Applications must be submitted to staff prior to the February deadline to have equal consideration for usage. Applications will be processed and reviewed and staff will discuss any conflicts with applicants during this time.
The Season of Play for all outdoor sports facilities is March 15 to November 30, weather permitting.
