Kids playing baseball is so much better than kids doing other negative things.

These are kids for heavens sake, having fun enjoying and learning the game of baseball. The idea that this is in any way disturbing neighbors is absolutely appalling!

Let kids be kids!!!! I guess those neighbors would rather them be cooped up playing video games or on cell phones

I can’t believe this is even and issue. Who doesn’t want the kids outside living their lives.

I have played since I was 4 and continue to coach now 40+ years later and it pains me deeply that ONE individual who doesn’t like hearing children laughing and playing potentially can impact so many. I hope the city takes into account the needs of hundreds vs bitterness of 1.

My son has played on this field several times and always enjoys himself. It is a great asset to the community.

My son plays here and it’s my dream to have a field behind the house like this. One person shouldn’t be able to stop so many from enjoying life.

Save this field, these children & parents need it...any person who would have an issue with children laughing & playing has issues bigger than a baseball field

Kids need a place to play and learn and form friendships. If not here, then where?

As a single mother of three, I want to express my deepest support with keeping this field open. My two boys grew up on the baseball field and my daughter on the softball field. My oldest son is 18 and enlisted in the US Navy this past fall. My daughter is a senior at TALLWOOD High in the Global Studies and World Languages Academy. She is headed to Radford University this fall. My youngest son is a sophomore in the Business Academy at Kempsville. They all played and continue play high school baseball/softball. Both of my boys played little league until they “aged out” and travel baseball. They were both fortunate enough to experience Field of Dreams in Cooperstown. The ball field and ball teams provided them with support and relationships that will impact them forever. I credit their years as ball players to much of their success. Blackwater is a place to allow kids to make everlasting memories, to help them build lifelong relationships, and experiences that will mold their futures. I look forward to hearing the city’s decision to keep this field open.

Not only for my grandson but all the young people that need to socialize and be outside.
