Protect Our Soccer Field, Round TWO

Here is the preliminary concept sketch [not to scale]
for the Mar Vista Soccer Field proposed fence and
jogging trail improvements based on public hearings
and stakeholder input:














Note the location of the 10' fence.

The Mar Vista Community Council and
Mar Vista Rec Center Park Advisory Board
approved placement is approximately 20' IN from
all three streets abutting the field. The Palms side
location needs to be adjusted in the final plan
to reflect this.

Additionally, the east side new fence placement should
move back beyond the bleachers and new bike racks--
eliminating unnecessary relocation costs for those items.

Gates are not indicated here; they will likely be placed
on all four sides of the field for safety and maintenance
access.

Too often we see a rush to throw up construction without
practical consideration of consequences.

Our community has collectively designed a
family friendly layout which meets the needs of
both jogging trail and soccer field enthusiasts.

The new fence alignment is a SAFE distance from
the field for players, officials, and spectators: it allows
10' for teams, officials and coach plus 10' for spectators.

It separates joggers and dog walkers from active play
on the field.

It provides a warm up area.

It provides shade.

And, it takes future water needs into account with
non thirsty landscaping.

Face it, another 12 months of drought and Los Angeles'
park irrigation systems will be rationed, or possibly
even shut off, to conserve water and energy.
