As the largest IPS league in the nation, we have the singular privilege of being at a complex that is able to accommodate our large number of teams, and we can have all of our games in a single day at a single field. This is a boon to our league, and is something we are proud of. Having been patrons of these fields for years now, we would be saddened to have to move fields that better accommodate us, and we really do not want to leave. Please do not make this a permanent thing, and find a temporary solution that can be put up for children's games, and then removed for adults to continue to use the fields.
Please do not change these fields! They play such a huge part in many people’s life’s. It’s a safe space for many of our lgbtq+ members and a home to the largest softball league around . A place we share to not only play softbal, but also a place we share laughter, compassion and love for eachother AND the sports. Please reconsider this change
cauley creek showed me i can be a different player it showed me how to be respectful how to play with my teammates and now they trying to take that alway from me 🥀
This park changed my life two years ago and has been one of my favorite places over the past two years. It is sad to see what has become of it. I hope we can restore it to its full glory soon.
Oak grove park is beautiful. However, parents should be afforded peace of mind when their kids are playing on the playground via a fence around said playground. Being an area that kids are running around, parents should not have to be anxious that their kid could run away into the water in a split second. The choice should be afforded to parents about whether they want their kids to be playing near the water or not; it should not be forced on them as an option as they are trying to enjoy a family day outside with their kids. There absolutely needs to be a fence around every playground.
Having lived in Virginia for many years,taking my son to many of the parks,I believe that any park located near any body of water should be fenced. Toddlers, more so then any age,are quicker then most of us realize. It should be a top priority to do anything we can to keep them safe. It takes a village and we are all part of that village and need to raise awareness for the safety that is needed for our children.
We have only been to this park in specific once. There is so much foot traffic and with the water so close it was very worrisome for me with both kids at once. A (1) gate fence would be a great addition to all parks to keep kids safe. Accidents happen faster then we all would like them to.
As Mother of three toddlers I would love to see this, we have driven from Norfolk to Williamsburg just to take the kids to a nice fenced in park. This isn't a lack of attention issue it's just common sense to help keep kids safe.
The lack of fence is the only reason I have never visited this park. My daughter is known to elope and I could never trust this location. A playground fence at all playgrounds is so needed!
