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.

Now we’re 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. Help us to prioritize where we put our resources.

From June 1 through June 30, We’re presenting a series of options for you to weigh in on. Share if you agree or disagree with statements as presented. When we combine results from the whole community together, it should reveal what the commonly supported priorities are.

Scroll down to try the options activity below.

We’ve also shared a comment page if you wish to leave us more detailed feedback, or if the options activity sparks ideas or questions you wish to share with our team.
