Sports Fields

Sports fields open during Stage 2 water restrictions

Our grass sports fields will stay open during Metro Vancouver’s Stage 2 water restrictions. These facilities are operating under an approved water use plan, and are using 20% less water than normal. Our fields are being watered to make sure they stay healthy and can be used and enjoyed for years to come. For more information about water use, read the Metro Vancouver restrictions guide.

The game’s always on in our city

Whatever sport you’re into, there's a place you can play in Burnaby. We have over 200 courts, diamonds and fields for tennis, baseball, soccer, softball/slo-pitch, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, track and field, rugby, cricket, bocce, lacrosse, bowling, archery and more.

For organized, group-use of sports fields—including practices, games, league use and other scheduled activities, please note that approved permits are required. Interested in a permit for field use? Please apply using the forms below.
