Syracuse, N.Y. – The Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs announcedthe soccer field at Schiller Park will close for spring maintenance in early April for approximately six to eight weeks, weather permitting.
“This soccer field is popular and well-used,” said Parks Commissioner Julie LaFave. “We’re asking the community to respect the closure so we can offer healthy and safe playing conditions this season and for years to come.”
Spring maintenance will include topdressing, aerating and seeding of the fields. The field will be unavailable to organized and open play during the closure. Temporary fencing will be placed around the field to protect the work. The field will close again for maintenance for a short period in the fall, weather permitting.
For residents and groups looking for soccer fields, soccer goals are available at Barry Park, Eastwood Heights Park, Grant Middle School, Lincoln Middle School, Huntington Park and Sunnycrest Park. Permits must be obtained for exclusive use. Contact Jack Davison at jdavison@syr.gov for availability at park sites.
