Pitch your ideas for the future of Vancouver's sport fields

The Sport Field Strategy is a comprehensive 10-year strategy to guide the maintenance, management and development of Vancouver’s sports fields.

The strategy will:

  • Provide a better understanding of the current state of sport fields in Vancouver.
  • Establish priorities and focus areas for both the fields themselves and how for we maintain, operate and/or facilitate access to fields.
  • Maximize good use of limited resources.
  • Guide sport field development, management and maintenance decision making for the next 10+ years.

The strategy builds on the groundwork and direction set out in VanPlay, Vancouver's Parks and Recreation Services Master Plan.

Earlier this year, you told us what you thought about the strategy’s foundational principles and directions. Now, we are in our third and final phase of engagement. We want your feedback on:

  • The draft implementation plan “big moves”: changes which will make a difference to specific fields and the sport field system as a whole; and,
  • A list of potential capital projects for the most significant big moves. We are seeking input on the strengths and challenges of these potential projects.

    Phase 3 - Big Moves survey

    This is the third and final phase of public engagement for the Vancouver Sport Field Strategy.  

    The purpose of this survey is to get your feedback on the "big moves"  which will inform the significant capital project types within the strategy’s implementation plan. 

    These big moves were developed from what we heard from the public and stakeholders in our first two phases of engagement. The final Strategy will include an implementation plan with a shorter list of prioritized projects. This list will be based on technical information, considerations, conversations with partners such as the Vancouver School Board and the Vancouver Field Sport Federation, feedback from engagement and funding sources. 

    Your input on these big moves will help shape the final Strategy.

    Please review the Phase 3 materials prior to or while you’re completing the survey. English (PDF, 12 MB) | 繁體中文資訊 (PDF, 7.1 MB) | 简体中文信息 (PDF, 7.2 MB) | Tagalog (PDF, 6.8 MB)| Thông tin bằng Tiếng Việt  (PDF, 6.8 MB) | ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ (PDF, 6.9 MB) 


    The “Big Moves”  

    There are five big moves: 

    1. Renew existing synthetic turf fields  

    2. Convert select all weather (gravel) fields to synthetic turf fields 

    3. Create hub sites  

    4. Establish dedicated ball diamond and rectangular field parks 

    5. Establish sport-specific priority fields 

    The five big moves will enable the Park Board to invest in and deliver sport field opportunities in a way that achieves key objectives embedded in the guiding principles and directions, which were tested in Phase 2 engagement.

     

    The following questions will ask whether you support each big move. Some big moves have a list of potential projects, and we want to know if you see any strengths or challenges for these projects. Not all big moves have potential projects related to them yet.

    This survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. 

    If you have any questions on the project or experience any issues with this survey, please email sportfieldstrategy@vancouver.ca.
