Subject: Multipurpose Fields to be Closed soon for Summer
Commissioners,
Please inform all coaches that PTP&R will be closing the multipurpose fields we use at Rees Park, Elm Grove and Venetia Park for most of the summer beginning June 25th. Also, the Peterswood Soccer Complex field (Field #5) will be closed effective June 18th ... any Travel Teams still practicing during the week of Jun 18 - 24 must move their practices to Elm Grove or Rees Park that week. The reason for the closures are so PTP&R Maintenance can begin their programatic maintenance on the fields ASAP and to give them an opportunity to rest for 6-8 weeks over the summer months. The Parks & Recreation Director informed me today that the fields are being closed to all activities over the summer for this purpose with the only exception being Rees Park & Venetia for the Jul 16-20 Challenger Camp. This is a huge step in the right direction by PTP&R Maintenance ... hopefully their work and our resting the fields will produce noticeable improvement in field conditions next Fall. It is anticpated that PTP&R will reopen these fields around August 11th.
