natural turf

rubber to reduce injuries
• This field is only closed when snow
accumulates on it. Otherwise it stays open
in all weather conditions
Exhibition Field
In the Fall of 2013 Exhibition Field and
Grandstand will have gone through major
renovations and upgrades.
Formerly one of the top grass facilities in
the lower mainland the CFL sized football
field is now a high end turf facility.
In order to accommodate as many users
as possible the new turf area is designed
with lines and markings that will allow
for not only CFL regulated play but the
American football regulations played in the
local high school program. As in the past
youth soccer will be accommodated and
the new field will include a practise area
when combined with the playing field is
able to house four mini soccer pitches at
one time thereby allowing more players to
be active at the same time.
In order to accommodate year round play
the grandstand at Exhibition Park has been
upgraded with heat being installed in the
existing washrooms, handicapped railings
installed and the existing metal cladding
insulation to the metal cladding will help
keep out some of the colder weather
making it more enjoyable for spectators.
