Synthetic Turf Field
Considered one of the largest
synthetic turf facilities in the
Lower Mainland, the over-
size field is designed to
accommodate football games
for both CFL and NFL rules, a
full size soccer pitch, or three
mini soccer pitches. The field
can also accommodate 12
micro soccer games running
concurrently.
The installation of the shock
pad underneath the turf
provides an added layer of
support and protection for
the players and the covered
enclosed team benches keep
the players comfortable during
the rainy or hot weather.
There are four team change
rooms and a referee change
room available for use upon
request. A turf warm-up area is
available for teams waiting to
enter the field that has ladders
and other warm up aids
stitched into the turf.
The 2,000 seat covered
grandstand provides a great
viewing experience for the
spectators and the perimeter
fencing around the entire site
provides security for ticketed
entry events. Field scoreboard
and public address system are
also available upon request.
Full concession services
are available through the
Chilliwack Football Club.

The Artificial Turf Field,
constructed at the East end
of Townsend Park, has some
exciting features:

for turf to heal
• It reduces the burden on
other natural fields
• Maintenance costs are
similar to premier natural turf

weather conditions
