The closure of City sports fields means that all leased fields, including school fields, are off-limits during the specified time frame. It is strictly prohibited to use these fields when they are closed. Permitted leagues found using a closed field may face fines or loss of field usage for the season. Unpermitted users will receive a warning or citation if caught on a closed field.
Interested parties can now sign up for email or text alerts for field closures on the City’s website.
