4. Build seven additional youth soccer fields (two under-8 fields (90'x150'), three under-10 <br /> fields (150'x240'), and two under-12 fields (180'x300'). Specific field sizes should be • <br /> developed with athletic and community recreation input. These fields should be located <br /> primarily in Shoreview with some in Arden Hills and New Brighton. Some of these fields <br /> may be located at a sports complex (see recommendation #3 above). <br /> 5. Evaluate adding lighting to some soccer, baseball and softball fields for extended playing <br /> hours. <br /> 6. Construct 3-5 new baseball or softball fields with 60' and 75' base paths and 200'-250' <br /> outfields for older youth baseball and fast pitch softball use. The schools and Shoreview <br /> have the biggest needs for these type of fields. <br /> 7. Additional fields will allow for the scheduling of some"down time"during the growing <br /> season. Field maintenance, repairs and renovation can occur during these non-use periods <br /> and will allow over all field quality to improve. <br /> 8. Where non-existent, establish a tennis court maintenance schedule similar to a pavement <br /> management program. Add lighting to extend available play time at popular tennis courts. <br /> 9.
