Field Status - 

An email subscription is in place to send field status updates to approved organizations using athletic fields.  Updates will notify you of the playing conditions being playable, questionable or closed. The email is sent each weekday by 2 p.m.  Managers/coaches must use their best judgment regarding playing conditions on weekends, unless Parks & Recreation decides to close the fields for the weekend on Friday afternoon. If the field is too wet, managers accept responsibility for increased injuries and damage to the fields (which may prevent future use).  Synthetic turf fields (E. Waluga & Hazelia) will close to use when the temperature reaches 95 degrees and above and 32 degrees and below.
