Outdoor Sports Facility Strategy
Whether you’re a sports enthusiast, a sports field neighbour, or a fan, we want to hear from you.
We’re creating a plan for how we’ll manage sports fields and your participation will contribute to creating vibrant and accessible spaces for recreation and community fun in the city. Be part of the team that shapes the future of sports fields in Guelph!
How can I participate right now?
Back in 2024 we engaged over 700 people to talk about community needs for Sportsfields. That feedback gave us some great directions for the strategy.
In 2026, we are looking from what’s possible, to what’s practical. There may be some tough decisions and tradeoffs to consider based on budget and parkland availability.
From June 1 through June 30, we presented a series of options for you to weigh in on. When we combine results from the whole community together, it should reveal what the commonly supported priorities are.
See the engagement summary below to find out what we heard.

Phases
Engaging user groups, partners and community organizations
We began the process early in 2024 by learning directly from sports user groups, community organizations and partners to set the foundation and define the scope of our community engagement.
We held several focused group conversations and interviews with leaders and agencies in the community to:
- identify where improved or different sports fields and courts may be needed across the city;
- share information about new, emerging, or international sports that should be considered in the strategy, and
- let us know what's working and how we can improve where and how outdoor sport facilities are built, booked and maintained across the City.
