Sports grounds
We provide and maintain a range of facilities and areas for sports and sporting occasions.
Find the nearest park to you or see if grounds are closed for organised sports.
Ground allocations
The Council allocates its grounds for seasonal use to the parent bodies of codes which are fostering and catering for that particular code within Christchurch.
Allocations are made seasonally. Applications from parent bodies for facilities are to be made at least eight weeks before the start of each season. A meeting will be held with representatives of each code before the start of the season to discuss clashes and hand over issues with the codes concerned.
It is Council policy that all bookings of sports grounds for regular sporting competition (winter and summer) are to be taken annually through the respective sports association only. Sports field bookings can be emailed to sportsfieldsbookings@ccc.govt.nz.
For a copy of the Service Level Agreement that the Christchurch City Council has with its sports associations email sportsfieldsbookings@ccc.govt.nz.
From time to time it is necessary to close a sports ground. If a ground is closed, it must not be played on. You will need to contact your sports association to find out if the event has been relocated.
