Fields, courts readied for action
Softball fields are being completed and tennis courts will be resurfaced in preparation for spring and summer sports. The director of recreation services, said yesterday.
He said two of the four softball fields at 32nd and Iowa streets were completed and are now in use.
"We have the capabilities to serve 288 teams a week this semester and that should ensure that everyone gets to play a normal football season," Wilkerson said.
Last year, recreation services lost two football fields because of the construction of the Robinson Gymnasium addition, and two others because of construction on the fields where the streets. Fewer softball games were played because of the limited number of fields.
"Most of the construction work on the playing fields at 23rd and Iowa was finished last spring." Wilkerson said. "However, we have made sure there to let the grass grow and mature."
WILKERSON SAID that in addition to the two fields at 23rd and Iowa streets, four fields south of Watkins Hospital and two fields north of Watkins Hospital be used for intramural softball this spring.
The two fields that are ready at 23rd and Iowa streets have new underground

"The only thing left to finish in the project is the parking lot," he said.
WILKERSON SAID the parking lot was almost completed and would be wounded in to keep people and cars off the two fields that were not finished.
"We're asking the people to police themselves so that they stay off of the area that is not finished yet," he said. "We can't let them go." The work that has been done on the fields.
Jim Mathes, assistant director of land-scaping for Facilities Operations, said all the fields should be ready by next fall, and his crews would continue to work on them.
"We're still seeding and fertilizing the fields," Mathes said. "It will be two to three years before the fields get really good grass and the ground smooths out more."
WILKERSON SAID that in addition to the
playing field renovation, the eight tennis
courts south of Robinson Gymnasium and
the 13-acre Memorial Stadium were to be resurfaced soon.
"The work on the 10 courts should be completed between the spring and summer school semesters so that the courts will not be overburdened when school's in session," Wikerson said.
He said that the courts would be resurfaced at a cost of $800 a court, not including
