How are Field Closures Determined?
When deciding whether to CLOSE a field, Parks staff consider the safety and playability of the field, as well as potential damage it could suffer due to play in poor conditions or during growing season.  If staff determine that a field is CLOSED due to poor conditions, this field will not be available for use until a subsequent inspection is carried out by designated District of Squamish staff.

Scheduled closures for maintenance and special events can be viewed on the Field Allocation webpage.

Do you clear snow on the Artificial Turf?
In short, we do not clear snow from the turf field. Snow clearing has the potential to damage the turf, by cutting the fibres and removing crumb rubber, which affects its integrity and shortens its life. There’s also a riparian area surrounding the field, so crumb containment becomes an issue. The answer will always be no.

Do you have Field House Changerooms?
Yes, we have changerooms at the Centennial Field House – the building is in front of Field 4 – The changerooms consist of men’s changerooms with showers and women’s changerooms with showers and one accessibility washroom/changeroom. The changerooms are locked and should be booked if it outside the weekend Regular Field Play hours. 

How to book Centennial Field House Changerooms?
Centennial Field House Changerooms should be booked at the time of the booking, if it needs to be booked after the original contract please contact bookings@squamish.ca and indicate the time of booking your request for changerooms.
