Surrey's 200-plus outdoor sports facilities are available for bookings again, three months after they were shut down in the COVID -19 pandemic response. Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum said progress made in flattening the curve of infections has allowed the city to resume issuing permits. "While I am very pleased that we can take this step, it is important that all participants, sport groups and teams follow the COVID-19 safety guidelines before, during and after play," he said. The reopenings are in line with Phase 2 guidelines of the B.C. Surrey has 15 artificial turf fields, 101 sports fields, 95 ball diamonds, three running tracks, six volleyball courts and five lacrosse boxes.
