Cloverdale Athletic Park Fieldhouse, BC, Canada

The Cloverdale Athletic Park Fieldhouse at Cloverdale Athletic Park is optimally sited to provide proximity to athletic fields, easy access to change- and wash-rooms, and clear sightlines for parents to easily keep an eye on kids. Fitting the program and two separate exit stairs within 500 square meters presented a challenge solved through an exploration of multiple floorplan options.

The main floor contains changerooms, women’s, men’s, and unisex washrooms, and support spaces, while the upper floor holds a dividable meeting room, with service area, kitchen, and a unisex washroom. The second-floor east wall also offers floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a full view of the playing field from goal-post to goal-post.

The design avoids recessed entries and alcoves and uses highly durable and proven materials to deter vandalism and crime. The colour and massing hints at Surrey’s agricultural past without sacrificing a contemporary, athletic look and feel.

Quotes from users of the space:
“We can now host tournaments in a whole new way, huge opportunities to bring teams, host fundraisers, community events, awards nights, and charity events.”

“We work really hard—even harder during covid—to keep a non-profit going, to keep kids engaged in sport, recognizing the benefits to their mental, physical, and social health. The volunteers understand that this is all about giving kids a safe space and preventing them from engaging in crime.”

“I LOVE the great room. I was standing on the balcony off the great room with the view of the entire field watching our top two female teams scrumming (they couldn’t play regular matches against each other due to covid health regulations), when I heard that the provincial government was allowing us to go from Phase1 to Phase 2.

It gave a sense that soccer will happen again, the girls are excited again, playing again. The stats are staggering, girls drop out from ages 8-12 at a rate 8 times that of boys. This announcement made all of that hard work, all of the emotional, physical, and psychological effort of the Surrey United Soccer Club volunteers worthwhile and I heard it from that place, in that room, with that amazing view of the field.”
