Our community's existing field space is insufficient to support the needs of the thousands of families who participate in youth sports and other recreational activities. The recent and continued growth of certain field sports in our community has underscored the need to improve our field situation. By installing turf at Middle and Wildcat we can maintain and improve upon our marquee baseball facility while also increasing the number of available multipurpose field practice and game slots by over 60%. This would allow more playing time for our young athletes, many of whom are currently being turned away or are forced to find practice and game fields outside of our community.
