Field classes
- D-class fields: Maintained by the City of Calgary Parks. Mowing is sporadic. Surface may not be level.
- E-class fields: Maintained by the school boards (limited management).
How do I know if the field is D or E class?
Tags are located at the field site (either on the goal posts or ball diamond back stop). Field tag numbers are based on facility type and community. To determine the field class, refer to the second number (indicated in bold in the example below). - Example: S1TUS02 is an D-class field
- If the first number is 1 the field is a D-class field
- If the first number is a 5 or 6 it is an E-class field
Field locations and features
D & E-class economy fields are unstaffed with no amenities. Most are lined. Nets and flags are available at some of the parks.
- D-class fields are generally located in parks or new community centres.
- E-class fields are located on school property.
You can browse D & E field locations on the Parks map.

Rental rates
D and E-class fields are subject to a $10.50 administration fee, unless the total hourly rate exceeds $10.50.
For example, booking a D-class field for one hour at the minor rate costs $14.66 ($4.16 plus the $10.50 administration fee). However, if you book the field for three hours at the same rate, the total would be $12.48 ($4.16 x 3 hours), and the $10.50 administration fee would not apply since the total exceeds the minimum fee.
