Athletic use of fields when wet or saturated may cause extensive field damage resulting in extended field closure and costly renovations.

The following procedure applies to period of rainfall, over-watered fields and/or in the event of an irrigation break.

• A rainout hotline (650-329-2697) is updated daily. In the event of any rainfall prior to your use, please call the hotline to determine whether the fields are playable.
  
• City and school district playing fields are closed anytime during a heavy rainfall (1/4" during a 24-hour period) and are usually closed for a minimum period of 48 hours.
  
• Additional closure time may be needed if there have been heavy rains and the fields are saturated. 
  
• Failure to abide by these policies will result in forfeiture of field reservation deposits, loss of use of the fields, and/or a fine of up to $250 per person per violation.

  Use of the field is permitted with reservations during construction. The dug-outs will be open in mid-March.
