Steve Skrocki, with the Department of Public Works, told the Parks Commission on Monday that, according to the contractor charged with overhauling the playing fields, the field should not be used this spring and summer. We are really going to have to think about the usage of fields and the clustering, Chairwoman Cindy Bird said. DPW Director Robert Tober said the contractor has suggested that it not be played on until the fall so the grass has time to settle. Also, there are still questions surrounding the new infield material, and Tober said they will not have a sense of how it will hold up until the late spring.
Chairwoman Cynthia Bird told her colleagues that she received reports from the soccer league that mask-wearing among Little League spectators was not enforced during the season. They need to be abiding by the rules like everyone else does, Bird said. The soccer league made sure they were doing everything the right way, and we have this other league where no one is wearing masks. She said this was a concern of the soccer league, which shared a field with the baseball league. Little League members cross the soccer field and use the same park entrance. Bird said the soccer league actually came before the commission to present its COVID-19 protocols.
