The informational session and tour is this Saturday, May 18 at 4:30 pm at Blocksidge Field
The "Friends of Swampscott Athletic Fields" (formerly known as the athletic Field Study Committee) will hold an informational session and tour this Saturday, May 18 at 4:30 pm at Blocksidge Field (the field inside the stadium at Phillips Park). This volunteer group has worked hard to develop a cost-effective and safe field turf proposal for Swampscott. Given the continued shortage and overuse of our town fields, Swampscott Youth Soccer strongly supports the initiative to remedy our fields. Please take some time on Saturday to attend the information session and learn more about what you can do to get involved.

Selectman Glenn Kessler said at th eboard's last meeting that the field house is in "serious disrepair," noting that the building suffers from rat holes and broken windows. Private citizens have made some emergency repairs at their own expense, he said. He said the town may someday have a beautiful new field or fields and a field house that is falling down.
