Grass maintenance

When was the last time we cut the grass?

We usually mow grass in parks and sports fields every 10 business days. You can use the grass maintenance map to see when a park or sports field was mowed. Enter the name of the park or tap on the map to view the mowing schedule and history.

Report a problem on a sports field

• Irrigated (watered) sports fields are mowed every five business days, between Victoria Day and September 30
• Other sports fields are mowed every 10 business days between May 1 and September 30.

Please let us know about problems with sports field conditions, long grass, line painting, gravel surfaces etc. We will respond within two business days.

Please don’t disrupt stormwater ponds

Stormwater management ponds may look like natural areas, but they’re an important part of the City’s infrastructure. Plants and long grass help ponds function properly.

Please don’t add or remove plants near stormwater ponds.

Stormwater management ponds help prevent floods and reduce pollution in Guelph’s rivers and waterways.
