Sports fields remain closed for pre-season maintenance

Public Service Announcement

It might feel like spring in Kelowna, but the City’s sports fields remain closed until they are ready for the season. Residents and sports-enthusiasts are reminded to stay off the fields until they are officially open for the season.  

Sports fields require extra care after the colder winter months to keep them safe and suitable for play. In preparation for spring, the City will be testing irrigation systems and cultivating quality turf. Early play on sports fields could lead to player injuries and closure of fields altogether, so residents are asked to keep off the fields until they are ready. Once fields are open for the season, teams searching for a place to play can call 250-469-8800 or visit our sports fields rentals webpage. 

Ball diamonds are scheduled to open Friday, April 5 and the remaining fields on Friday, April 12, weather permitting. The Apple Bowl Track is currently open and sport court maintenance will commence on Friday, March 15. 

Families and individuals looking for spaces to play non-organized sports can check out some of Kelowna’s larger parks, such as Ben Lee Park, Rowcliffe Park or the north field at City Park.
