The majority of sports fields and ball diamonds within the OCDSB are allocated through the Community Use of Schools department. Weather permitting, Ball Diamonds are available from May 1st – October 31st and Sports Fields are available from May 15th – October 31st.
As much as possible, it is our goal to honour historical bookings (2021-2022 permits) for returning clients who held a permit for field or ball diamond use. A minimum of 5 weekdays is required for all permit requests to be reviewed and processed. The online booking system is now open for Spring/Summer 2023 permit requests. The deadline to submit renewal requests of returning/historic permits for consideration is Tuesday, February 28 , 2023.
Please login to your OCDSB eBASE account to submit your permit requests.
Each year there are fields which are taken offline for field maintenance. If your organization is affected by these closures we will work with you to try and find alternate site options.
