Grande Prairie City Council approved a five-year extension of Hansen Lincoln’s naming rights for the west turf field and grandstands located at the Community Knowledge Campus. 

The agreement begins at the end of the current term and extends the naming rights of Hansen Lincoln Field through to 2032. The early extension provides funding for lighting improvements along the west side of the grandstands at the facility. 

The new colour-changing solar lights are expected to enhance the visibility of wayfinding signage, improve safety and expand the rental use possibilities to include thematic and celebratory displays.

“Council’s decision to move forward with this agreement reflects our appreciation for community partnerships that help build a stronger Grande Prairie,” said City of Grande Prairie Mayor, Jackie Clayton. “Renewing the naming rights for Hansen Lincoln Field not only supports enhancements to the facility but also showcases how local investment helps us grow as a destination, drive economic opportunity and improve quality of life for all residents.”

“We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the City of Grande Prairie through the extension of Hansen Lincoln Field, reflecting our shared commitment with the City to invest in world-class facilities that support local sports, attract regional events and strengthen the vibrancy of our community,” said Hansen Lincoln General Manager, Dan East. “Hansen Ford has always believed in contributing to Grande Prairie’s growth, and we are thrilled to see Hansen Lincoln Field continue to serve as a hub of activity, competition and community pride for years to come.”

Naming rights agreements play a key role in enhancing community infrastructure by fostering partnerships between the City and local businesses. Through these collaborations, local organizations can give back in meaningful ways while supporting the growth of recreational spaces that promote wellness, pride and connection.
