Groton The Athletic Fields Task Force has presented to the Town Council a proposed recommendation to address the long-standing issue of a shortage of athletic fields in town.
The recommendation calls for improving athletic facilities at Fitch High School and then locating additional fields at Sutton Park, near the high school, primarily for student use but also for the community, said Jerry Lokken, manager of recreation services for Groton Parks and Recreation and the town staff member on the task force.
The third part of the recommendation is to develop additional fields at the Claude Chester School property after the school closes, Lokken said. Claude Chester, which is slated to close at the end of this school year, is adjacent to Poquonnock Plains Park.
