North Providence High School football/soccer/lacrosse field has been in deplorable condition for many years. With so many teams, leagues, and youth programs practicing and playing on the field each and every week, the field has been left in tattered and Barren state. The grass substrate is not conducive to handle such a workload. And the maintance it would take to have a grass field that would be anywhere near what the children and community deserve would place a burden on the school and town to maintain. We are looking for you- the community of North Providence- to partner with us. To give a safe, lower maintenance, and beautiful playing surface to not only the athletes who attend North Providence High School, but also the children who play youth sports, as well as the surrounding community.

I spent time watching the teams struggle on that battered ground yesterday and it is clear that our kids deserve much better than this. I am currently working to get a meeting on the books with town officials to put our concerns directly in front of them.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels surreal because I remember how many times I tripped on those uneven patches while watching my own kids play. We are finally proving that this community refuses to settle for a field that puts our athletes at risk.

Some one is going to get hurt really bad! It’s time to move to the next century! We are the only town left in the dust with the 3rd highest tax rate! Our kids deserve better!

Its embarrassing when we visit other towns and see their nice facilities compared to ours. Our kids are playing in the mud and dirt every week. FIX IT!

Without a proper playing field for sports teams, players could risk injury. As an ex alumni for the High Schools sports teams, I have had experience with the awful field conditions. During one particular game, there was a risk of serious injury due to terrible field conditions after a rainstorm.
