ATHLETIC FIELDS / DIAMONDS STATUS

IMPORTANT UPDATE 8/18/17: 
To address the excessive amount of weeds that are deterring turf growth on our athletic fields, the Parks and Recreation Department is applying a one-time application of Quinclorac in compliance with the Town's Integrated Pest Management Plan. This is a common application to treat athletic field weeds that is routinely administered in other communities.  We do not apply weed control annually, but have determined that current conditions warrant treatment. The application schedule is as follows:
AUGUST 21-25: Town Office Field is closed this week. Ballfield Road fields will be open for use.
AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 1: Ballfield Road fields (Smith, Codman, Brooks, Paddock) are closed this week.  Town Hall field will be open for use.

We are contracting with Trugreen to apply the product.  Skin irritation is possible if you come into contact with the product before it dries, so we want to make sure everyone stays off the fields for 5 full days to ensure maximum safety precautions.  Signs will be posted at all fields prior to application.

Athletic fields are OPEN for general use.  Reserved play for leagues or teams requires a permit.

TENNIS COURT STATUS


Tennis courts are OPEN for the season.
Please do not use courts during or immediately after rain, as you will damage the clay surface. You must purchase a tennis membership to use the courts in any capacity. Membership will provide you a pin-code access to enter the courts.

Courts are available on a first-come, first-serve basis with the exception of Town sanctioned events, which have priority and are scheduled in advance.

NEW MULTI SPORT COURT!

This is an outdoor, lighted court located next to the Comdna Pool and Brooks Gym on Balfield Road.  It is primarily set up for open basketball play, but can be configured for volleyball, tennis, badminton or deck hockey as needed.  Court lights are available at dusk 7 days per week.  The button is located on the lower left light pole and shuts down automatically at 10pm.

PLAYGROUNDS
Lincoln has 3 playgrounds for public use: BLUE (Age 2-5), RED (Age 5-7) and GREEN (Age 8-11). The BLUE playground is available for public use from dawn to dusk, 7 days/week. The RED and GREEN Playgrounds are available for use before and after school hours (8-3PM) M-F, and dawn to dusk on weekends. Playground use is at your own risk and we do not recommend using them during the winter months when the safety surfacing is frozen and cannot provide protection from falls.  We also ask that you take your trash with you when you leave.
