Surrey breaks ground on new sport facilities

Wednesday, September 14, 2022

The City of Surrey has begun construction on two new sports facilities. The new Bear Creek Athletics Centre and new North Surrey Outdoor Sport Complex will provide premier destination sports facility for the community.

The North Surrey Outdoor Sport Complex will be located adjacent to Scott Road SkyTrain Station and North Surrey Sport and Ice Complex at 12626 110 Avenue. The complex will include a circular natural grass sports field, a 2500-seat grandstand and a fieldhouse which will include public washrooms and changerooms. The complex’s proximity to rapid transit and SkyTrain makes it an ideal location for hosting large tournaments and events.

In addition to having the capacity to host a variety of sport and cultural activities, the North Surrey Outdoor Sport Complex will have larger seating capacity than any other Kabaddi amenity in the City.

“It will have the largest seating capacity of all other kabaddi amenities in the city,” Mayor Doug McCallum.

Once complete, the Bear Creek venue will provide the community with increased access to high-quality outdoor amenities, accommodate some special events and a variety of high-level football, soccer and track and field sporting activities.

The Bear Creek Athletics Centre will include a new partially covered grandstand with permanent seating for 2,200 people and the possible expansion of temporary seating for another 1,000 people. It will also include the construction of new changerooms and public washrooms and upgrades to the track, the concession and ticketing spaces.

Both projects are expected to complete in 2023. The projects were approved in the city’s 2021 five-year capital financial plan.
