This reminder came from the City …

As noted in the memo distributed with the 2009 Outdoor Booking Package, the City will be implementing a new practise of closing sports fields when they are saturated or during especially wet weather conditions.

• Staff will make the decision by 2:00pm if fields are to be closed for the duration of the day and evening.
• Notification of field closures will be posted on the City’s website at guelph.ca. Look for the new “Sportsfield Status” webpage under “Seasonal Information”.
• Staff will attempt to email or call all users that have bookings that night; however, the onus is on the user groups to monitor weather conditions and refer to the Sportsfield Status webpage.
• During off-hours, ie weekends, permitted groups are encouraged to exercise due diligence in the event of saturated field conditions, as damaged fields will result in extended closures.

The goal is that this practise will result in higher quality fields and fewer long term closures.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation and assistance in protecting our sports fields.

Thank you!
