Well, tomorrow’s grand opening was celebrated a day early. Nice to see everyone enjoying the field. Still concerned about enforcement of the rules. It’s 9:30 and the basketball games continue in the dark. I thought the closing time was 9pm?

Well, people have been using the basketball courts all night. Even right now. So, no the fencing and/or supervision of the facility isn’t working.

It looks great! I was happy to see they put in an irragation system for all the plantings, so no one needs to worry about watering. The grass looks nice and I hope they cut it in a timely manor unlike in the past. The PVKZ kids are pumped, since they’ve had no playground all spring! I am proud that some of the teens and kids showed up to one of the planning meetings and told them not to have 2 basketball courts, but pushed for the big playground, which was not in the original plans!

Beautiful. I can’t resist a comment about the sod. Time and again I have seen DC put down beautiful sod and then abandon and ignore it, only to see grass turn brown and then to dirt. What are the odds that Rec center staff or someone in city could actually water and care for that lovely new grass — and cut it with regularity?
