Preparing Athletic Fields for Spring Season Use
It’s officially spring and city staff are working diligently to prepare City fields for the spring sports season! While synthetic turf is already being used, the winter thaw and snow melt have made grass fields soggy and vulnerable to damage if they are used before adequate preparation. We expect all fields to open for athletic use by early April.
