Using North Vancouver Playing Fields

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic all sports fields have been closed until June 30 2020. Any updates will be noted on our field status page.

All individuals, groups or teams who want to play on a North Vancouver sports field must have a confirmed booking with North Vancouver Recreation & Culture. 

If you propose a special event concurrent with your field use (which potentially includes Carnival Activities, Barbeques, Food Services/ Food Trucks, Beer Garden etc...) you are required to obtain permission from the municipality, and a permit through the Community Event Application process. Please contact [email protected] or visit nvrc.ca for an application. Community Event Applications are due by Jan 31, 2020. Late Applications may not be accepted. 

• Before your group plays on a grass or artificial turf field, check the field's status and location.
• You can request a field booking by calling the North Vancouver Recreation and Culture Commission's office at 604-983-6318 or by using our online Playing Field Booking Application.
• If you encounter any problems with or on a field, call at 604-983-6318 or email or use our online Field Maintenance & Incident Report.
