Book D & E-class ball diamonds

Renewal rights exist when a group has a booking each year for the same time period, on the same day of the week.

Renewal bookings are based on an organization’s historical use at each individual facility for the previous two years. 2020 and 2021 will not be included in renewal reviews, as the COVID-19 pandemic affected the ability of many organizations to offer sport activities.

• To qualify for playfield renewal rights, you must have a booking of: a minimum of 5 dates at one playfield for the same time period, on the same day of the week, for consecutive weeks. (Example: minimum of 5 bookings at one playfield, Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. for 5 consecutive weeks).
• Renewal bookings are based on your organization’s previous booking of an individual playfield on a session-to-session basis (example: Fall renews to Fall, Winter renews to Winter).
• If you delete dates from your renewal permit resulting in less than 5 bookings, or resulting in your bookings becoming non-consecutive each week, you may lose your renewal rights.
• It takes 2 years to establish a renewal and 2 years to lose a renewal. This allows established renewal groups some flexibility for unforeseen circumstances. If a group falls below the 5 dates booking minimum for 2 years in a row, the renewal is lost.
• Renewal bookings in 2022 prioritize organizations with bookings in 2019 or before, to allow organizations who were unable to renew their spaces due to the pandemic opportunity to continue their relationship with The City.
• Established renewals are groups who have booked a minimum of 2 years in a row. If your booking is considered a renewal, you will automatically receive a renewal permit the following session. You will not have to apply for the space, and you will be given the option to cancel the renewal permit without charge.
• New renewals are groups that have qualified for renewal status for the first time. These groups are offered a renewal if there are no operational or historical booking conflicts.
• Special events, tournaments and track meets do not qualify for automatic renewals.

For questions about renewals, contact facilitybookings@calgary.ca.  

Our rental terms and conditions apply to all field users. You’ll be asked to accept them during the applications process.

Your permit must be onsite during any and all of your bookings to avoid any confusion. Your permit is proof of your rental to anyone who may need to see it.

Permits are only valid for the date, time and location specified on the reservation receipt. The City of Calgary does not post reservation notices at park or field locations. If a non-permitted user is occupying the site, the permit holder should show proof of reservation. If the non-permitted user refuses to vacate the field, please contact City staff if available on site, or call 311 and request a bylaw officer to be dispatched.

The facility permit holder (applicant/renter) is expected to adhere to the Rules & regulations governing fields in order to ensure both the safety of participants and the preservation of The City facility. As the permit holder, it is your responsibility to ensure that every player, team official, parent of players (for youth organizations), and spectator is aware of the conditions of use/regulations.
