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
Great tournament facilities
Many communities look toward Guelph for our tournament and exhibition-class sports facilities.
That's a reputation we can build upon!
Whether its inside our borders or outside of Guelph, We want to know: Where are your favorite places to play in sport tournaments on Fields, Courts or Diamonds. We can improve how we approach tournament facilities and sports tourism destination planning by learning from the best sites across Ontario as well as those right in our own backyard.
- We asked the community to click on any place on the map to tell us what's great about that facility or location and share a photo if you have one. We wanted to know about the locations we should learn from both here and across Ontario if we grow options in Guelph to host tournaments and larger sporting events.
