Hampton Field Renovation
Posted by piedmont on July 11, 2007
Tonight, 11 July 2007 at 5:30, the Piedmont Park and Piedmont Rec commissions are holding a joint meeting to discuss the Hampton Field renovation project.
Good news: basketball courts stay, tennis courts remain in the sun, drainage and seating are improved.
Bad news: an artificial turf baseball infield? This is a bad thing.
Written comments should be directed to the Park Commission in care of Mark Feldkamp at mfeldkamp@ci.piedmont.ca.us and/or to the Recreation Commission in care of Mark Delventhal at mdelventhal@ci.piedmont.ca.us.

UPDATE: Both Park and Rec unanimously approved the plan. The baseball infield surface is still under consideration. Send your comments today!

Beach Field has FieldTurf and is used all the time by PBSF for Shetland and Pinto play.
