I support the Chicago Park District\'s completion of the artificial turf athletic field in South Lincoln Park for the use of all Chicagoans. The field will provide additional safe and much needed extended-use field surface for children and adult teams and informal pick-up games. I also support the Chicago Park District\'s plans to build additional artificial turf athletic fields in other areas of the city for use by youth soccer groups and others.

We are gaining momentum but we need to hit the turn of 250 signatures to force a meeting with the district board. Post the link to your Facebook feed right now. Text the link to three friends who use the park so we get this over the finish line today.

I have been in touch with the local district office to press our demand for the turf installation. Call your alderman today and ask why this project is still stuck in the planning phase.

Finally. Tired of the mud pits and canceled practices every time it rains for ten minutes. Let's get this done.

Great idea. The grass is always dead by mid season anyway so this would be a huge improvement for the neighborhood.
