- (Park and Rec) 1 te ae 250,000 250,000

The need for additional rectangular fields for soccer, lacrosse, and cricket has increased dramatically over the past 15 years. The

current usage exceeds the usable capacity of our existing fields. This issue has led to poor field conditions and the inability to

take fields off-line for needed repairs. The addition of one or two fields in the area off of Gilson Rd would go a long way in

spreading out the use of these rectangular fields and would allow us to take a field-off line for a true renovation.
