Check out our online inventory of grass and artificial turf fields.

Some, but not all, of our grass and all weather fields have whiting sheds (lime sheds) for storing the equipment and supplies for lining fields. Check our current list of whiting shed locations.

To use these facilities, you must have a confirmed booking with the recCommission. To turn lights on or off, you will need to purchase a lighting box key (see next question). Check out our lighting box locations for more information. NOTE: The outdoor lighting at some playing fields and lacrosse boxes may already be turned on in the evenings when your group arrives.
