- ATTENTION ATHLETIC FIELD USERS: All Park Athletic Fields are now closed through March 31. Park patrons are asked to stay off all grass park athletic fields through March 31. This annual closure of the grass fields allows for turf growth, rest and seasonal maintenance, and helps protect the condition of the fields for the Spring/Summer season.
Please help us take care of our fields and respect the closure dates and our official inclement weather policy. Violations of this regulation are subject to a $100 fine and denial or revocation of future permits.
For anyone interested in field play during this off-season period, permits are available year-round for the Blair High School synthetic turf field. Contact the Park Permit Office for more information.
