Using Masich Place Stadium
Are there any special regulations for using the Stadium's synthetic turf field?

Is the synthetic turf field available for use all the time? No. The field must be booked ahead of time because it requires maintenance (e.g. grooming and levelling) after each use to ensure all users have a positive experience on a pristine field.
Will the City clear snow on the field in winter?
The City does not provide snow removal for regular bookings or public walking. However, snow removal may be provided upon request for special events in the late fall. Snow removal is not possible over the winter or early spring owing to ice formation and potential field damage by snow removal machinery. Can I drop in any time to walk on the track?

Booking Questions
Can I book the track or field separately?
