[RP TownTalk] Park on Lafayette and Tuckerman

[Peggylint]

It is my understanding that it is roped off because to many teams, which did not have permits, were using the field and then leaving it a mess with all their trash and not putting the nets back down.  The residents complained and the town had to clean up the mess from the last team that played on the field.  Now only those who obtain a permit from the town are allowed to use the field.
 
It is my further understanding that the Cafritz CSC overpass and circle will all be behind the berm and not affect the field.  That remains to be seen.

Andre-  
I see you're reminding the list that no one has responded to your earlier question!  Excellent :)  First of all, that's the park known locally as the Field of Dreams.  There's a history to that which you can probably Google, or maybe if one of the town historians is so inclined they can recount the story for us all (it precedes my time here by several years). In any case, as to your question, I have no actual information, only speculation.  Included in a recent town notice on the Cafritz construction, I believe it mentioned that preliminary work was going to begin in preparation for the bridge that's going to be built across the tracks and connect with Rivertech Ct.  IIRC, part of the property on which the Field of Dreams sits is actually owned by the University. As part of the deal that made that bridge possible, the University and the town swapped some land. In any case the road leading up to the bridge (via a roundabout) is going to have to cut into the Field of Dreams property somewhat.  
  
   
  
  
The roping off may or may not have something to do with the bridge construction. As I said, speculation on my part...

Hello All,       
      
      
       
        
         
          
           
            
           
           
I noticed that the park has been blocked off for over a week now for repairs  So far I have seen no repair activity.  Is there going to be some work done on that park?  If so what is happening to that park and what is the timeline?  If not can we use it again?             
           
            
           
           
Thanks!
