Sports Fields Regulations

Fields must be inspected by the teams before each game and each practice. It is up to the coach to make the final decision if the field is safe for play or if play will result in damage to the field or injury to players. Damage to the field due to playing in poor conditions may result in the closure of the field. Repairs to sports fields may not be possible outside the growing season resulting in closures over extended periods.

  • Practice sessions should rotate around the field and avoid
    goal mouths and centre field when possible. High wear areas can be a hazard if too much play.
  • Line markings for field of play should also be moved around the field when possible.
  • One of the highest wear areas is along the sidelines where teams and spectators stand. Try to avoid standing in the same area each week.
  • Do not play on fields if there is frost, snow, standing water or unsafe conditions.

We will attempt to assess the fields during our normal operating hours. If the field status shows closed, respect the closure. If the fields show open, remember, it is still up to you to determine if the fields are safe for play. With your help, we can work towards better fields for all. If you notice an issue with one of our fields, contact 250 248-5412 or ops@parksville.ca.
