Stay informed when city facilities are closed due to weather

The City of Burlington makes every effort to keep our facilities open for scheduled activities and rentals. When unsafe weather conditions occur, the city may close facilities.

Three ways to get closure information:

  • Subscribe to get email notifications at subscribe.burlington.ca
  • Weather closure information will be updated on burlington.ca/notices
  • 905-335-7738 will be updated with a recorded message

Rental cancellations when city facilities remain open

When Environment Canada issues a weather alert, advisory or watch, renters may proactively cancel or reschedule without penalty.

  • If you wish to proactively cancel due to weather, email weathercancel@burlington.ca at least two hours prior to rental start time.
  • You will be contacted by email the next business day to confirm adjustments to your facility rental contract.

For more information please contact:

  • Tel: 905-335-7738
  • Email: rentals@burlington.ca

How is it determined if a sport field is closed?

Field closures are based on participant safety and how wet the field is. Heavy rains or surfaces wet for a long time may close fields due to potential damage and they also can become slippery and unsafe for participants.

When is the decision made to close sport fields?

Sport field status will be communicated by 3 p.m. Monday through Friday only (excluding Holidays). In the event of a cancellation, permit holders are responsible to pass any cancellation information along to their participants.

Who can make closure and cancellation decisions?

To ensure the safety and playability of the fields if weather and/or field conditions change, City staff and/or designated game officials (coaches, referees) may close sport fields or cancel play. The webpage is not updated on the weekends and holidays.

How can I get up to date information easily?

Permit holders, coaches, players and parents are encouraged to subscribe to email notifications sent directly to your email at subscribe.burlington.ca.

What if a sport field has not been identified as closed on the website and is in an unplayable state?

Please be aware that inclement weather or emergency maintenance closures can occur at any time and without warning. If a field is in an unplayable state when you arrive, please stay off the field and contact customer service at rentals@burlington.ca, within two business days of booking, so they can assist you with any permit adjustments.

Examples of unplayable conditions include:

  • Visible puddles and pooling of water on the field or diamond
  • Water sponging up around your feet on the field or diamond

Staying off fields that are in unplayable condition helps prevent injuries and prevents unnecessary repairs and
