[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most county fields, including the school fields are in bad shape due to overuse. From overcrowded schools to not enough fields (for all the sports clubs that use them for practices), the answer is turf but there are too many loud voices that are anti-turf (read the OLO report and you'll see). So, instead of playing on a turf field, our kids are playing on compacted dirt, in mud puddles, and with rocky surfaces. Our neighbors, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Howard County, etc. are all turning fields and Montgomery County is falling behind. FYI, there are newer turf projects with natural fill (no more rubber tires).[/quote] Most of these fields have been in “bad shape” for 30+ years. Believe it or not, they’re in better shape today than they were 15 years ago, and much better shape than 30 years ago when most of us were playing on them. [/quote]
