Sports field closure information is updated at 8.30am and 2pm business days (if there are any changes) and is unable to be updated after business hours or over the weekend. Advice due to wet weather is only a recommendation, as all sports fields within all parks are unable to be inspected by City Officers and weather conditions may change during this time. In these cases, it is the responsibility of the respective club onsite to determine playing and/or training conditions.
Schools, clubs and groups who use the fields against the City's advice are reminded that should they cause damage to the playing surface, they may be liable for fines and/or cost for any damage caused.
Should you have any queries regarding the use of the City's sports fields, please call 07 5667 5972 during business hours or email rou@goldcoast.qld.gov.au
