Problem Solving
Arlington residents need to be able to do more outdoor activities with increasingly limited field space and an ever increasing demand:
• Number of fields remains constant - Demand for outdoor field space is increasing
• Cost of land is prohibitively expensive (Arlington County can’t just create new fields/parks)
• DPR has a limited amount of maintenance personnel for fields/parks
• Practices and games continue to be cancelled (35-40% cancellation rates due to unplayable field conditions due to weather)
• Number of fields remains constant - Demand for outdoor field space is increasing
• Cost of land is prohibitively expensive (Arlington County can’t just create new fields/parks)
• DPR has a limited amount of maintenance personnel for fields/parks
• Practices and games continue to be cancelled (35-40% cancellation rates due to unplayable field conditions due to weather)
Priority #1: Increase Optimization / Utilization of Existing Resources by increasing the functionality and availability of the fields
Solution: Multi-season play, multi-sport field configuration
