City and Heather School Part Ways on Athletic Field Usage.

The City of San Carlos announced this week that they have broken off discussions with the San Carlos School District regarding the long-term use of Heather Field. Here’s a comprehensive article in the San Mateo Daily Journal that has all the details:

City Cuts Talks Short

The result of this development is that the already critical shortage of playing fields in San Carlos will only become more severe in the near-term. With Heather no longer on the list of available fields, don’t be surprised if your child-athlete is put on a waiting list for upcoming seasons since there will very likely won’t be enough fields to handle the number of teams who want to use them. Sadly, this will be a first in San Carlos. While the City will scramble to find an alternate solution, this will not be an overnight fix.

The anti-turf camp may have won their battle, but the whole city has lost big time…regardless of which side of the turf wars you were on.
