Requesting funds to be utilized to purchase necessary sod, baseball/softball infield mix,
services in order to repair/rehab the playing surfaces at various athletic/rec fields.
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION:
Similar to the FY12 request, we are requesting funds to repair wear areas on the playing
fields. Consistent repair to these wear areas is critical to maintaining the safety of all users of
these facilities. Pushard, Pequitside, Walsh, and Salah will be in need of sod and others are
likely to demonstrate a need depending on weather and usage. In addition to the need for sod
at the various locations, there is a need for infield mix & conditioner at the little league fields.
Sullivan baseball field also needs some specific work on the mound & batter areas.

repairing wear areas, but also in executing an aearation project at Wardwell Fields. Since that
project, we have had consistent positive feedback on the condition of these fields.
