I just got the final email confirming the township is breaking ground on the new fields and I am honestly still in shock that this actually happened. It feels like just yesterday we were staring at that empty dusty lot wondering if anyone would ever listen to us but you …

If you could just send the link to a few neighbors who actually play catch or walk their dogs nearby we might finally get the township to pay attention to our local field situation.

Living right down the street and there is literally nowhere for the kids to go play ball. Just an empty lot sitting there collecting weeds.

Our kids need a place to be active instead of just sitting inside on video games all summer. This area needs more fields badly.

YES PLEASE. My son has to travel way too far for practice. This would change everything for the neighborhood families.

Finally someone said it. That land has been wasted for years. Turn it into something useful for once.
