West Side Knoll Field Closed Until Further Notice

The Melrose Public Works Department has asked us to post the following information.

Please be informed that moving forward, the West Knoll complex is closed until further notice. Nets have been removed from the field and secured against the fencing to eliminate play. The Public Works Department will be posting signs around the field to this effect and is requesting that coaches and players refrain from using the field.  This work is being done in hopes of having a healthier, stronger field for our community and for your upcoming seasons.

Thank you for your cooperation.
