Sunshine Coast Communities Launch Collaborative Sports Field Strategy
June 16, 2025 – The District of Sechelt, Sunshine Coast Regional District, Town of Gibsons, shíshálh Nation, and School District 46 (the “Working Group”) are working together to develop a collaborative Sports Field Strategy for the Sunshine Coast.
As our communities continue to grow, so does the need for modern, accessible, and sustainable outdoor recreation spaces. This joint initiative will assess current and future needs to help guide long-term planning, investment, and management of sports fields throughout the region.
The strategy will define a shared vision and provide recommendations to guide sports field management, allocation, and capital and operational investments over the next 10 years. It will also support sustainability, inclusion, and equitable access to sports and recreation for all Sunshine Coast residents.
The project is currently in its early stages, gathering information, conducting research, and engaging with the community and stakeholders to better understand how local sports fields are used, what’s working well, and where improvements are needed.
Community feedback is a key part of this process. Help ensure sports field planning reflects the needs of everyone on the Sunshine Coast by taking part in one or more engagement opportunities.
