Welcome to Medfield Parks & Recreation
Athletic Fields Update:
Coaches - The fields are still fragile. Stay off the fields if you notice the following:
1. Your team is causing damage by ripping up the turf.
2. The turf is over saturated and unsafe causing players to slide or sink in the turf and mud.
If you must practice, play off the lined playing field and on the outer grass for drills etc.
Hopefully, the weather cooperates this weekend for your games.

Baseball field is open today.
Large lacrosse field is open today and closed from 12pm Friday, April 25, 2014 and Sunday, April 27, 2014 for maintenance.
