Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback and participated in the engagement process for this project. Engagement is now closed.
A summary report of what we heard will be available in early 2026.
Background
The City of Delta is developing a long-term plan to guide the future of John Oliver Park. Currently home to rugby, soccer, and football, the park was identified in the City’s recent Sports Field Needs Assessment as a prime location for a centralized athletic and tournament hub.
Key takeaways from the assessment most relevant to John Oliver Park include:
Developing an outdoor athletic facility and sport tournament hub
Increasing field capacity for future outdoor sport needs
Continuing to serve existing Park uses
Improving facilities for growing cricket use
Considering a flexible artificial turf surface that can serve competitive field hockey
Considering an indoor multi-use sport facility to support artificial turf or sport court uses
Building on input from field sport groups, three example layouts for the site were been developed to support further community discussion. Between September 10 and October 31 the community was invited to provide their feedback on the key features they wanted to see most and layout preferences. Based on this feedback as well as further technical analysis, a final layout will be presented to Council in early 2026. With Councils direction, that layout will be submitted to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for approval.
