from the airport.

Where the games are

Rinks, fields and clubs

Hockey, softball, baseball, soccer and curling are why a great many people drive between Newfoundland towns, all winter and all summer. Every other page here measures from an airport. These measure from the building, because on a tournament weekend the venue is where you actually are — and the question at one o'clock, between games, is what you can reach and be back from.

50 venues across 20 towns, with drive times by road to what the open map records nearby. Every page also says plainly what we don't know about the place — heated stands, accessibility, the story — because those decide whether somebody comes and are published nowhere.

5 of these have no real name on the open map — they are recorded as "Softball Field" or similar. Around here they nearly always have a proper name, often somebody's. That is a twenty-second fix that improves every map app at once.

You, or somebody you know, runs a rink, a field or a club that is not listed

Then there is nothing here to apply to, and that is the good news. This page is generated from the open map — OpenStreetMap, and Overture where it adds to it — so nobody is picked for it and nobody can be put on it by asking us. That is “not for sale” seen from the other side: the same rule that stops a competitor buying their way past a place is the one that stops us adding it by hand.

The way on is the open map, and you do not have to own the place to put it there. Anyone who has stood outside it can: what the map wants is the doorway, the exact address and the name as the sign spells it, and somebody local has all three whether they own the building or just live down the road. It takes about twenty minutes on a phone and costs nothing. And it is not just this page — the open map is read by a great many apps, websites and in-car systems, so one evening fixes where a place appears in all of them at once. How to do it, step by step →

Would rather not, or it is not your place to add? Send us the facts — the name as it is on the sign, the address, what sort of place it is, and a phone number — and somebody will map it. No account, no form, no cost, and you do not have to say who you are.

Already listed, but it says unconfirmed? That means the entry rests on a single record, so this site will not pin it on a map or offer a navigation link — we do not send a stranger to a building nobody has checked. A second independent source agreeing on the position is what clears it, and correcting the position on the open map is the fastest way there — which, again, anyone can do.

What being on it gets a place, stated plainly so nobody is disappointed: the building, the drive to it from each airport door, and the handful of things nobody else publishes — whether the stands are heated, whether a wheelchair can watch from somewhere, what the canteen does. No ranking, no rating, and no schedule. This site publishes no ice times, no fixtures and no bookings for anywhere — those belong to whoever keeps them, and they are wrong within a week of being copied.

Venues from OpenStreetMap, eateries from Overture Maps, drive times from OSRM. Measured 2026-09-12. The town under each name is the nearest mapped settlement rather than a stated address, so if one of these sits under the wrong community, tell us — around a bay that is precisely what a map gets wrong and a local gets right. Nothing here is a schedule and nothing is a recommendation.
