Outdoor sports facilities are located in many different park spaces within the City of Sarnia. They are rented out seasonally to local organizations and groups for competitive and recreational play, recreation programming, and for private rentals to citizens.
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.
Outdoor sports facilities can be booked between 7 and 45 days in advance, with bookings opening 14 days ahead of the season opening. Visit our Recreation Facility Rentals Page for more information on the rental process.
Class A Diamonds and Sports Fields cannot be booked online. Please contact us directly at parksandrecreation@sarnia.ca to inquire about renting a Class A facility.
