The goals are being returned to Dover Park. Seeing this space regain its purpose is a profound reminder of what happens when we commit to the places that hold our community together.

For nearly 20 years I have been coming to Dover District Park in Dover, Florida, to play soccer. In that time, I have met hundreds of people, and made many new friends, most of which remain close to me. The park was a place where people could go in the afternoons, to join together and play pickup games of soccer. This included many youths, providing them a place to go and get exercise, interact with others, and keep them out of trouble. The people who would come to the park came from many diverse backgrounds, speaking different languages that included English, Spanish, Portuguese, Croatian, and French, among other languages. We came to play the game we all love, the beautiful game of soccer.
In early Spring of 2020, when the Covid pandemic forced a statewide lockdown, the goals on the field were removed by the county in an effort to keep people from gathering. There were other reasons to remove them, they were old and had become safety hazards, creating a liability for the county.
We are now more than 18 months removed from that time, and we feel the time is now to bring back the goals to the fields, to put those large fields of grass to great use, and to allow us to return to the pastime we love so dearly.
We are asking Hillsborough County to install new goals, enough for at least two full size fields (there used to be five fields in play). Please join us in this cause, and help us to return to normal.
Durante casi 20 años he venido a Dover District Park a jugar fútbol. En ese tiempo, he conocido a cientos de personas y he hecho muchos nuevos amigos, la mayoría de los cuales permanecen cerca de mí. El parque era un lugar donde la gente podía ir por las tardes, reunirse y jugar cascaras de fútbol. Esto incluyó a muchos jóvenes, proporcionándoles un lugar para ir y hacer ejercicio, interactuar con otros y mantenerlos fuera de problemas. Las personas que vendrían al parque provenían de diferentes orígenes, y hablaban diferentes idiomas que incluían inglés, español, portugués, croata y francés, entre otros idiomas. Vinimos a jugar el juego que todos amamos, el hermoso juego del fútbol.
En el principio de la primavera de 2020, cuando la pandemia de Covid forzó un bloqueo en todo el estado, las metas en el campo se eliminaron en un esfuerzo por evitar que la gente se reuniera. Había otras razones para quitarlos, eran viejos y se habían convertido en un peligro para la seguridad, creando una responsabilidad para el condado.
Ahora estamos a más de 18 meses de ese tiempo, y sentimos que ha llegado el momento de traer de vuelta los goles a los campos, dar un gran uso a esos grandes campos de césped y permitirnos volver al pasatiempo que amamos. tan caro.
Le pedimos al condado de Hillsborough que instale nuevas metas, suficientes para al menos dos campos de tamaño completo (habia cinco campos en juego antes). Únase a nosotros en esta causa y ayúdenos a volver a la normalidad.

The truth is, we only want the goals. It is not a crime to play soccer and it is a sport that is good for your children. What would be better than going to a bar or to the field?
estamos careciendo de un ambiente sanó para nuestra siguiente generación por eso estamos solicitando que se dé la oportunidad de reabrir Dover park ATT Melvin morales
This petition would have way more signatures but most people that use to play at the park are migrant workers
I've gone to the park for 15 years and as mentioned there was good people there playing soccer buy not since the nets/goals are gone nobody goes there anymore and it's sad. It would be greatly appreciated if the goals come back.
Esperamos pronta respuesta a esta noble peticion para bien de toda nuestra comunidad atte Liga alianzahispanadover

We used to exercise and have so much fun every evening, this place brought people from different places together
