Inspected sports fields are either recorded as Open, Closed or Discretionary.
Please ensure coaches do not warm up goalies in the goal area.
An Open sports field is available for current user groups as allocated by the Mission Parks, Recreation & Culture Department. Even though sports fields are designated open, pre-game field checks must be completed by the referee and coaches to verify the safety and playability of the turf surface at that time. Fields that have acquired unsafe conditions since the last inspection or are in a position to sustain significant surface damage should be closed at that time.
A Closed status indicates the field is unavailable for play until the next inspection date. Occasionally some closed sports fields can be reversed upon the verbal authorization of designated District of Mission staff, if environmental and/or playability considerations warrant.
A Discretionary status indicates that the field condition is marginal and is to be used at the discretion of the user group using the field.
Sports fields that are designated as “Discretionary” are on the bubble with respect to the surface conditions at inspection time. If the weather remains as forecasted or improves for the weekend, the fields should be OK.

Standing water and/or muddy, mushy conditions are good indicators that marginal fields should not be played on until surface conditions improve substantially.
For the “Discretionary” status system to operate successfully, all club executives, referees and authorized coaches must at times make tough decisions with respect to postponing games due to deteriorating field conditions. This system will be continually monitored on a club-by-club basis for implementati
