The San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation department has seen a recent increase in field usage.
With San Luis Obispo County transitioning into the orange tier, the department has been able to open sign-ups for more activities, including sports normally played during the fall.
Parks and Recreation Director Greg Avakian said, âThe use for the fields and request for the fields have been off the charts. I think our community has been happy to see all this activity. I donât think itâs going to be a norm; we could not keep this pace on the wear and tear of the fields.â

According to a city press release, The recent influx of tents and similar enclosed structures at public parks has disrupted the intended public use of these recreational areas and raised resident concerns.
