Field Usage Decision Information

Updated June 22, 2026

Grass Fields are Closed

  • Please exercise caution: if a thunderstorm occurs, please stop play and seek shelter immediately.
  • During the week a decision on field closures will be made as soon as possible based on assessments from PRCE and Parks Department. We will make every effort to communicate by noon
  • During the weekend a decision on field closures will made the evening before.
  • These times have been chosen to allow adequate time to alert coaches and players of cancelations.
  • If there is a field closure the Parks, Recreation and Community Education) (PRCE) Director will email the presidents of each sport and it will be their responsibility to pass that information on to their coaches and participants.
  • Coaches: please contact the president of your respective league for more information

Please use common sense when using the fields:

  • If an area is still wet - avoid it.
  • If cleats are causing damage - stop playing.
  • If it starts to rain and fields become saturated (ground feels spongy) and/or there is standing water on the field; they will revert to closed status.
  • All decisions on closing the fields are made with field preservation in mind and are final once posted online. Users are also stewards of the fields. Any damage that is caused will be assessed by the Town's Parks Foreman and be billed, in full, directly to the user!

Individual Field Status

Please note: If it starts to rain and fields become saturated (ground feels spongy) or there is standing water on the field, they will revert to closed status. Any damage will be assessed by the Parks Foreman and billed directly to the organization using the facility.
