Kenmore: Why no nice soccer/ mixed use field

[Anonymous]

New to Arlington. Kid plays rec league soccer. Have a kid in middle school, at Kenmore. Why is Kenmore lacking a nice field like Gunston, TJ, Williamsburg have?

Space?

Plenty of space just south of the school and in front of the elementary school where the really run down current fields are in place.

Which school uses the field? The elementary or middle school?

IDK but why is the Kenmore building 1000x nicer than TJ, Gunston, WMS?

Not everything is always the same.

I know the middle schoolers use it a lot. Not sure about the elementary school.

I think the county is in charge of field maintenance. The relationship between the county and APS is strange at times.

lol- no! That is the one answer that is absolutely incorrect. They have the space. They have dinky grass fields that could be easily converted to turf.
