Surrey Council to vote on $7.5M contract for two new synthetic turf fields and parking at Cloverdale Athletic Park.
Surrey Council Set to Approve Major Turf Project
Surrey is gearing up for a game-changing upgrade at Cloverdale Athletic Park (CAP). The city council will vote on September 15 to approve a nearly $7.5 million contract for the construction of two new synthetic turf fields and a new parking lot. The project aims to replace the existing grass fields with high-quality, all-weather surfaces that will better serve local athletes and community programs.
$7.5M Contract Proposed for Civil Works
The Parks, Recreation, and Culture department recommends awarding Contract No. 1220-020-2025-004 to WhiteStar Property Services Ltd., with the contract set at $7,411,966. The total expenditure, including contingencies, is capped at $8,153,163. This first phase focuses on preparing the base infrastructure for the two synthetic fields and the parking lot along 64th Avenue.
Laurie Cavan, General Manager of Parks and Recreation, explained that Phase 1 covers groundwork and the installation of synthetic turf, which will be procured through a separate corporate report.
What’s Next: Phase 2 Plans
Phase 2, expected to come before council in 2026, will complete the project by paving the new parking lot, creating a one-way park road linking it to the existing lot, and installing a fully signalized intersection at the 17000 block of 64th Avenue.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Sports Facilities
Cavan emphasized the growing need for durable, all-weather playing surfaces in Surrey. “Cloverdale Athletic Park is a central hub for youth and adult leagues, school athletics, and community programs,” she said. “These new turf fields and parking lot will increase access to reliable, safe, and high-quality sports spaces.”
Replacing grass with synthetic turf aligns with Surrey’s goal of promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. The upgraded fields will provide more opportunities for local clubs, schools, and residents to enjoy organized sports and recreational activities year-round.
A Community-Focused Upgrade
“The addition of two synthetic turf fields at Cloverdale Athletic Park significantly boosts Surrey’s sports field inventory,” Cavan added. “These new facilities will create inclusive, multi-purpose spaces for residents of all ages and abilities, while expanding opportunities for community engagement and athletic development.”
