Soggy conditions have closed local fields from play today.

Due to the recent wet weather, all city-owned grass sports fields (including baseball diamonds) are temporarily closed.

"This helps protect the turf and ensures our fields stay in great shape for future games and activities," the City of Vernon posted on social media.

Affected fields are:

  • DND Park
  • Alexis Park
  • Grahame Park
  • Lakeview Park
  • Marshall Fields Park
  • Polson Park Oval
  • MacDonald Park
  • Girouard Park
  • Sawicki Park
  • South Vernon Park

"We anticipate these facilities will reopen tomorrow, pending weather conditions," the city said.

"Thanks for your patience and understanding — your cooperation helps keep our fields safe and enjoyable for everyone!
