The field is the most used recreational facility at Hearst.  Wouldn’t it be better to sacrifice one of the THREE baseball fields at much larger Turtle (Friendship) Park?  Why isn’t DPR considering that option?[/quote]

For some reason DPR considers baseball to be the only "real" sport. Even though about ten times as many kids play "rectangle" sports as "diamond" sports, two thirds of DPR's fields are diamonds. And the diamonds are maintained at a far, far higher level than the rectangles.

What is particularly head-scratching is that at fields that are multi-purpose and can be used for either, like Stoddert, Jelleff, Fort Reno or Riggs-LaSalle, DPR has been moving rectangle sports off in favor of diamond sports. If they had the barest sense of serving the public they would be moving in the other direction.[/quote]
