The Outdoor Sports Facility Strategy is a comprehensive 15+ year strategy that will guide the development, management and maintenance of Guelph’s outdoor sports fields and courts. The strategy will:
- Further our understanding of how we currently provide services for outdoor sports
- Establish service level targets for outdoor sports fields and surfaces
- Plan for the quality, quantity and type of infrastructure we will need in the future
- Understand emerging trends and leading practices
- Equitably provide services and facilities to all residents
- Guide management and maintenance of our sports fields and surfaces
The strategy will focus on outdoor infrastructure and services for sport fields (rectangular, diamonds) and courts (basketball, tennis, pickleball, volleyball). It will also consider unprogrammed, regional, and extended use of sport infrastructure. This work will build upon the groundwork and direction set out in the City’s Park Plan and Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
We’re working towards presenting the final strategy to Council in the first half of 2027. Learn more on the project’s Have Your Say page.
