president soccer columnist can cause a few problems You may notice over next week or so thai the Ncllson fields goal posts situation has been resolved A recent meeting with Town Clerk Ken Richardson Recreation Director Tom and his staff Works Superintendent 1- rank Morel te and representatives of lawn soccer groups except the ladies group left very little unsaid on both sides A subsequent five minute meet ing with Moreitosolved the problem and both soccer and flag football arc able to use the posts andncts to their satisfaction The soccer people In this town have proved themselves to be very reasonable people over my years in the area and always cognisant of users of facilities Town owned fields arc few and far between Moore Park are the lot Olhcr fields arc leased or borrowed Nellson Dor and school fields arc those There Is a distinct shortage of fields In town and prospective growth will not ease the situation far from it and quite the opposite There is Just not Ihe space available New development must not be allowed lo lake place without thought being given to playing field space as a must Dare I quote Brampton as an example Brampton Is one of the fastest growing towns in the country and has reserved 11 acres of parkland per population which does not Include school grounds You may note that each housing development has playing space around with park baseball and soccer accommodated It has been noted that In past 10 years vandalism has dropped by per cent In spile of the vast population growth It Is no Illusion to draw comparison between this drop and the insistence upon play areas Volunteer recfeaiion groups play a huge part in keeping vandalism down In any area They have a positive Impact In minimizing trouble The major problem here is the lock of available space II may well be that wc shall have lo seriously consider out of centre of the town ploy areas has had to battle for whatever facilities we do all group users have to be considered
