Delridge Field Meeting Tonight
Monday November 23 2009
**This just in: (11/24/09)**
Keeping our eye on things as we are wont to do, it’s been reported to us by an attendee at last night’s meeting, that the new play field design will indeed encompass markings with boy’s lax on one field and girl’s lax on the other. We continue to make inroads into Parks and Recreation...Now all we need to do is to get them to schedule us! That’s step 2...
The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department have been holding 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 is a meeting tonight, Monday, November 23rd at 7-8:30 in the Delridge Community Center.
Please come and make your voice heard.
**Also, since our 5/6 team is full, potential players should check into Queen Anne Lacrosse for a possible spot there. As of last weekend, their roster was still open...good luck to all!
