Burnaby Lake and Byrne Creek Turf are open for business.

JOMO is correct. I spoke to Bby Parks & Rec this AM. Bby Lake is open. Takes awhile to get through the bureaucracy to change the website and the phone line (this from Parks & Rec).

Huge home field advantage. Absolute shite park. Sapperton should work on getting a new park. shite field, shite change rooms.

Updated December 8th at noon. Some fields are user discretion but they are marginal. Any amount of rain is likely to make them not suitable for play. Please use significant discretion so the field is available for the rest of the year. For allweather fields, they are all user discretion - some are still under snow and others have melted. For Artificial turfs. The Point Grey turf is open and the Hamber field has a significant amount of snow/ice on one quarter of the field and will be user discretion but is likely not suitable for games.

Holly Park in Ladner is closed

Vancouver Field status website is down "due to a power outage."

From the phone line: "all grass fields are under standing water and are closed as of today." This will be re-evaluated as of 2:00 pm tomorrow and the website will also hopefully be updated at that time."

Nothing like decisiveness.

Trece similar tech difficulties with the WV fields line, but they called to advise Ambleside grass is closed this weekend.

Updated Friday January 5, 2007 Due to rain, freezing and snow the grass fields are closed this weekend. Artifiicial turfs and all weather fields are user discretion. Do not play on them if they are frozen or have snow cover. Thank you!

Looks like NFL playoff football this weekend for us!!

Confused...games at Burnaby Lake #2 are postponed but show as on for the #3 field. Does #3 get less snow?

 

[Sir M]

Sapperton Park is closed, and the interesting thing is even though our game against Sapp was put up a few days ago on the excellent site, according to the lady in the New West Parks office that I spoke to this afternoon, it and all other NW fields have all been closed all along til the 15th of January. So the game should never have been scheduled in the first place, according to her (Joan...excellent), the Parks scheduler. She also said she told a Sapp representative named "ZZSOLT" that several days ago...but it was scheduled anyway.

Hmmm.

 

[Gurps]

Bandcamp, the ones postponed for Burnaby Lake are the games for tonight.

 

[bandcamp]

Thanks Gurps...Burnaby Parks line says all turf fields are closed for the weekend so it's weird that our game still shows as on for tomorrow.

 

[Gurps]

Interesting....I know that Burnaby got quite a dump of snow, but you would think that common sense would put the fields user discretion Saturday and Sunday, as the snow could melt overnight.


We Temple have Burnaby Lake as a home field, and the league usually doesn't update the website for that field till later in the day.

 

[Oggy]

Strange. Our 4pm Div 2 game at Point Grey gets cancelled, but the 6pm Premier game is still on. Pretty irritating, since Point Grey is almost clear of snow already, and a game there tonight is on, as well.

 

[Gurps]

Oggy, call Ruben and see if he hasn't made a mistake.

Either that or he may be trying to move another game to that field.

 

[bandcamp]

Oggy your game is still showing as on on the VMSL site.

 

[dezza]

It was a mistake ...

It was supposed to be our game tonight that was cancelled, but we didn't find that out until half the team was there!

The PG turf was 100% playable, proven by the fact that there was a girls game on when we arrived. Oh well...
