remove fencing in Pershing field public park baseball fields to allow soccer pitch

The Issue

Pershing Field public park is located in the middle of Jersey City, New Jersey. The city is the second most populous city in New Jersey with a population of 250,000. Neighborhood recreational space is very hard to come by. I propose that the park remove the locks and fencing on the 2 baseball fields that occupy the entire playing space of the park for soccer and other sports that require room to practice it.
