(Red Deer, Alberta)The City of Red Deer reminds residents that sports fields and ball diamonds remain closed until May 1, 2026.
While warmer weather and early spring conditions may make outdoor fields look ready, using them too soon, particularly while wearing cleats, can cause significant damage to the grass and ground, and disrupt early-season growth. This can affect turf health, field quality and playability throughout the season.
To help ensure safe, high-quality recreation spaces for everyone, residents are asked to stay off sports fields and diamonds until they officially open.
We appreciate the community’s cooperation in protecting these important amenities and helping ensure they are ready for the season ahead.
