Sports fields and diamonds are classified by size and level of service. Class A and B fields and diamonds are bookable and larger in size, regularly maintained and most appropriate for developmental sport and tournament. Classes C and D fields and diamonds can be used without booking or charge as these sites receive less regular maintenance, smaller in size and possibly located within a retention pond.
In addition, there are 34 neighbourhood tennis and basketball courts found throughout the city for casual, recreational use on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If you're interested in booking Great Chief Park, or one of the various Class A or B sport fields, please email facilitybookings@reddeer.ca for more information on timelines and how to complete a rental application. Fees are applicable to games, practices, special events and tournaments.
