June 1, 2026 Release
Play in Nanaimo is excited to release the official Nanaimo Sport Facility Inventory Document! The inventory highlights the variety of spaces available throughout the city and demonstrates Nanaimo’s ability to support everything from grassroots community sport to large-scale competitions and tourism opportunities. By making this information more accessible, Play in Nanaimo hopes to make it easier for event organizers, teams, athletes, and visitors to discover what the community has to offer and explore new opportunities to bring sport events to the city.
More than just a list of facilities, this full inventory is about creating spaces that bring people together, support active lifestyles, and strengthen Nanaimo’s reputation as a hub for sports and recreation on Vancouver Island. The Nanaimo Sport Facility Inventory is the perfect complementary resource to the newly released Sport Hosting Toolkit! Together, these resources help showcase Nanaimo as a welcoming and capable destination for sporting events of all sizes, while also supporting future planning, investment, and community growth.
Sport tourism continues to play an important role in supporting local businesses, hotels, restaurants, and attractions while creating memorable experiences for athletes, families, and spectators. Investing in and promoting quality sport infrastructure not only benefits visitors, but also enhances opportunities for residents to stay active, connected, and engaged year-round.
Ultimately, the inventory helps lay the foundation for a more active, connected, and vibrant community, for the people who live here and the visitors who come to play, compete, and experience Nanaimo!
