Description

The fields at Puryear Park have been completely swamped and unplayable for over a month, due to the wet conditions and poor drainage there. They are too wet to mow or play soccer on. Is there a way to put in a request or get a movement going to re-grade the soccer fields there with proper drainage so that they are playable even in rainy conditions? There are many other fields in the area (like Largo) where the fields are raised enough and level, with drainage along the sides to handle a good amount of rain and still be used. There are hundreds of families relying on Puryear Park for youth recreational and club soccer, along with adults who use the fields for soccer and other sports as well. We have gone weeks into the season without being able to play there. Please advise as to what could be done to bring this park up to better standards for field play. Thanks.
