BOE approves purchase of grooming tool
On Monday night, the Board of Ed approved the purchase of a GroomALL, which is an attachment used for grooming, cleaning-up and maintaining artificial turf. Since so many high school athletes use Maple Field, the Board felt it was appropriate to purchase the $12,000 device. It will be combined with the Village's equipment to improve and care for the field, for everyone's benefit. I know there are parents out there who will welcome this news and I wanted to make sure you are aware.

You are right, this is a great decision. Maple Field has been slowly falling into disrepair as a result of lack of maintenance. Regular attention is required for any sports surface. Hopefully, Parks and Recreation will embrace the responsibility for keeping the field in shape.
