We received an email from the Youth Sports representative on the Brodie Park South Study Group Committee with a copy attached of the preliminary plan for an athletic field* at Brodie Park South and as promised, we are publishing this plan as we have previously published the preliminary studies by Lenard engineering locating the football field either at Antolini School or at Brodie Park North; see our January 9 article Antolini, Brodie Park North Locations…

The email with the preliminary plan for the athletic field was sent to all the members of the Brodie Park South Study Group Committee as well as to NewHartfordPlus with the following note:

“…Thought all of you might like to see the field and parking plan (in its conceptual phase) for BPS. This plan was produced by Bob Green Associates; Surveyors and Engineers at the request of me. Bob likes to do work for youth organizations at little or no cost and was kind enough to do quite a bit of preliminary work at no cost to the town. As noted, this is preliminary. Location and scope of the construction is still to be determined. Also note that I have included a siting location based on the best use of current topography and minimal impact to the park…”

Many Thanks to Youth Sports for providing us with a copy of the preliminary plan and the sketch of the proposed athletic field at Brodie Park South so that we might make it available to our readers.

* The sports field that is being proposed to be located at Brodie Park South has been variously referred to as a football field in Lenard Engineering’s preliminary studies, an athletic field by Youth Sports and a multi-purpose sports field by Rec. All three refer to an area that corresponds to a regulation sized football field.
