We’re upgrading artificial turf fields 1 and 2 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West to meet the multi-sport needs of both fields. Both fields will continue to serve the primary uses they do today:
Field 1 will serve primarily soccer and football.
Field 2 will serve primarily soccer and field hockey groups at the community/school competition level.
We’ll be engaging with sports user groups and using their feedback to inform our project to promote multi-sport play at the facility. During the work, we’ll be removing the existing surface, upgrading and repairing the under layer (including upgrading the drainage and shock pads as needed), and installing new artificial turf fields. Our staff will finalize the designs for both fields in 2025, with construction scheduled for May to September 2026.
While work is underway, 2 of the 5 artificial fields at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex will be out of play. We’re expecting these closures to last from May-September 2026. For the latest information about scheduling, parking, and access, visit our Burnaby Lake Sports Complex page.
