West Vancouver’s Place for Sports Fund

This project is now complete and fundraising is closed.

This fund was established by the West Vancouver Schools to accept donations to the West Vancouver Place for Sport capital campaign. The project is now complete and open to the public. 

Thank you to everyone that donated to this historic project, and to the many volunteers that made it happen. West Vancouver, and the North Shore, are better for it.

The West Vancouver Place for Sport is a partnership between West Vancouver Schools and the District of West Vancouver. The track, now known as the Harry Jerome Oval, has a proud history as the place where children could run, seniors could walk safely, and athletes could train and compete at the highest levels. Located on the campus of West Vancouver Secondary School, this facility, also incorporates a turf field.

Harry Jerome Oval was officially opened on July 8th, 2025, marking the completion of the West Vancouver Place for Sport.  This remarkable sports facility is now in full use, and if you have not visited the site for a run or a walk we encourage you to do so.
