Surrey, B.C. – Surrey Council has authorized staff to initiate a Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) process to obtain submissions for a potential partnership with a proponent to finance, design, build and operate an indoor practice facility on City park land at Cloverdale Athletic Park.
"Surrey is known for its high-quality sports facilities,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “This new indoor practice facility at Cloverdale Athletic Park is another example of how we are always continually adding more options and building new amenities for our growing population. This latest project will provide much-needed space for our flourishing sports community, and I look forward to seeing the proposals that will come forward.”
The City is interested in a partnership and in the sport development opportunities that may be generated by such a facility at Cloverdale Athletic Park and would like to explore this opportunity and find a suitable proponent. The facility could support practice and training opportunities for sports such as soccer, lacrosse, football or softball.
The approved 2023 Five Year (2023-2027) Capital Program includes $10.5 million in funding in 2026/27 for other improvements not relating to the facility development, such as parking lot to the north of the proposed facility, and sports field enhancements at Cloverdale Athletic Park.
Staff will initiate a RFEOI and the process will include consultation and feedback from other key outdoor sport stakeholders, who reside at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Staff will evaluate the proposals received and report back to Council with recommended next steps.
