Renting the Track

The Rotary Bowl is on City of Nanaimo property and the Nanaimo Track + Field Club is contracted by the city to manage this facility and collect fees from groups using the track.

A “group” refers to an organized visit of 4 or more persons who:

attend on a regular basis; and/or
have a coach or instructor present; and/or
use equipment that indicates you are having a practice

Nanaimo Track and Field Club and the City of Nanaimo does not supply the user/renter with any liability or personal injury insurance. It is highly recommended that the Permit holder carry his or her own insurance policy and have signed waivers or consent forms for their participants.
