Delridge Playfield in West Seattle
Monday October 19 2009 Filed in: News
The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department will hold a series of meetings to gather public input on the upcoming planned upgrade to the Delridge Playfield.
Right now the field is a dirt/sand combination with lighting for night use. Plans are to install field turf. What we need is a significant turn out from the LAX community to insist that markings for Lacrosse be included in their plans. In the past, Parks and Recreation has resisted this since they felt it was too confusing to have so many markings on one field. Never mind that just about every field on the Eastside is marked for multiple sports. It was quite a fight, but they finally relented and the newly revamped Miller Playfield has Lax markings.
With the recent burgeoning of lacrosse in this area, we need to actively add our voices to the mix to insure that we as taxpayers are heard and that our wishes be given equal consideration.
There are two meetings scheduled at this time: Monday, October 19th and Monday, November 23rd at 7-8:30 in the Delridge Community Center.
Please come to either, or both, and make your voice heard.
It would sure be nice to be able to use a new quality field and bid The Swamp a fond farewell...
