Are you concerned about the following issues?
• The condition and safety of our athletic fields in Somerville
• Lincoln Park renovations will likely take 2-3 years to complete despite the fact that the City of Somerville has been discussing improvements for more than 3 years
• The maintenance plan/regimen proposed in the Gale Report/Study—an athletic fields assessment sponsored by the City of Somerville and published in 2013—is not being fully implemented to improve current field conditions

Right now we have an important opportunity to say and do something! Have your voices heard about the unacceptable conditions of our athletic fields by signing this online petition! Please also show your support by attending this Monday’s budget meeting of the Board of Aldermen (Monday, June 22nd at 6:00 PM).
