A First Look Inside: Envision Financial Sport Centre Celebrates Exclusive Closed Ribbon-Cutting
On September 22, 2026, local leaders, project partners, and key stakeholders gathered at Cloverdale Athletic Park for an exclusive closed ribbon-cutting ceremony, officially marking the completion of the new Envision Financial Sport Centre.
Powered by the Surrey United Soccer Club (SUSC) in partnership with the City of Surrey and Envision Financial, this landmark 37,000-square-foot facility represents years of vision, planning, and community collaboration aimed at elevating athletic training across the region. While the broader community will soon have the opportunity to tour the space during upcoming open houses, yesterday’s private gathering gave key contributors, municipal officials, and club leaders an intimate first look at standard-setting sports infrastructure in Cloverdale.
A Major Milestone for Surrey Athletics
For years, local sports organizations have had to navigate West Coast weather, often resulting in rainouts, soggy fields, and cancelled winter practices. The opening of the Envision Financial Sport Centre directly addresses those challenges by providing a dry, climate-controlled, lit environment for year-round play and skill development.
During the closed event, representatives from Canada Soccer, Surrey United, Envision Financial, and the City of Surrey reflected on the journey from initial planning to ribbon cutting. The facility ensures that thousands of players, ranging from toddlers taking their first kicks to adult league competitors have access to a high-caliber venue built to support athletics for decades to come.
Inside the New Facility
Attendees at the private opening toured the completed interior, highlighting several state-of-the-art features:
All-Weather Turf Field Pads: Three flexible indoor turf pads that can be configured into a full 9v9 training pitch equipped with overhead lighting.
Surrey United Soccer Club
Elevated Spectator Mezzanine: A second-story viewing deck offering parents and supporters comfortable, clear views of the action below.

A Vision Built on Community Alignment
The success of the Envision Financial Sport Centre reflects strong alignment between private sponsorship, municipal governance, and local sports organizations. Envision Financial’s title sponsorship underscores a ongoing commitment to supporting youth development, wellness, and community spaces throughout British Columbia. Meanwhile, the 30-year partnership agreement between Surrey United Soccer Club and the City of Surrey establishes a sustainable foundation for local sport infrastructure.
What’s Next: Welcoming the Community
With the ceremonial ribbon now cut, final preparations are underway to open the doors to the public:
Member & Community Open House October 1st 5:30pm-8:30pm: An upcoming public showcase where local families can tour the pitch, explore the facility, and celebrate the opening.
Fall Program Launch: Fall programs—including youth developmental sessions like First Touch and Future Prospects—will officially move into their new indoor home.
Community Rentals: Local sports associations, schools, and private groups will soon be able to book turf time directly through the facility portal.
The September 22 ribbon cutting marked a milestone achievement for Cloverdale and the entire City of Surrey. With the facility officially unveiled, a new chapter for local athletic training and community wellness has begun.
