The Bartow Cricket Club was started in January 2012 with a mission to facilitate a Cricket facility in Polk County and inspire young kids of all communities to enjoy this wonderful game. Polk County Parks and Recreation Board has kindly supported this mission and gave permission to build a cricket pitch (with concrete and turf grass on top) at Mary Holland Park, Bartow, FL. This was built in January 2012 with generous donations from local communities and businesses. This petition is to seek support for this mission from all cricket lovers so that we can retain this facility at its current location, provide a list of supporters of this mission for official records with the Polk County and prove to all concerned that this is a great opportunity for the current and upcoming generations of men and women from all communities in Polk County, FL.
The Polk County Parks and Recreation Board continues to ignore the value we have built at Mary Holland Park. I am collecting these signatures to force them to acknowledge that our pitch belongs to the community and not some bureaucratic whim. We are not going anywhere.
February 3, 2012
The Polk County Parks and Recreation Board is finally seeing that we refuse to let them take this pitch away from our community. This momentum proves that the people of Bartow demand a future for cricket and we are just getting started with this fight.

I see these guys out there all the time and they are so respectful and keep the place clean. Leave the pitch alone!

We put a lot of money and hard work into that pitch. It deserves to stay put.

Bartow needs more sports options like this. It brings the community together and gets people outside. Keep it where it is.
