Stay Informed About Closed City Sports Fields: Sign Up for Email and Text Alerts

Closed City sports fields mean that all City leased fields, including City school fields, are off limits during the specified time frame. Using the fields when they are closed is strictly prohibited. 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.
