Saskatoon Field House Track and Facility Closure

The City of Saskatoon is preparing for a temporary closure of the Saskatoon Field House to improve the user experience at this popular leisure facility.

This summer, the track and field surface will be repainted to repair the lines that are beginning to wear off. The City has been working with the floor manufacturer and contractor to implement a long-term solution that will resolve the issue of paint flaking and not adhering to the floor surface.

 For the maintenance to take place, the facility will be closed as follows:   

• June 23 to July 13: Track closed 
• July 4 to 11: Full facility closure.  For the health and safety of patrons and staff, the facility will be closed during the painting process to allow the paint product to cure and for the scents from the product to be minimized prior to public use. 
• July 12: Facility, fitness room, and meeting rooms reopen
• July 14: Track reopens (walking only)
• July 24: Racquet sports resume

Patrons are encouraged to try out the City’s other indoor tracks during this time. The Shaw Centre (122 Bowlt Crescent) offers a three-lane, 165 metre Hamm Walking Track for walking and light jogging and the Terry Fox Track (150 Nelson Road, located inside the SaskTel Sports Centre) boasts a two-lane, 365-metre track.  For additional Leisure Centre options, visit saskatoon.ca/leisurecentres.

Drop-in program information including facility, fitness and weight room hours, public swim sessions and fitness programs, for the six indoor Leisure Centres, is listed on Leisure Online.

The City takes pride in being able to house a high-performance track for the community and competitive athletes to enjoy and appreciates your understanding as we work towards a long-term solution to this issue.
