Facilities on Board of Education property will be closed to the public during school hours while schools are in session or while they are being used by the Board of Education.

School board use of board-owned facilities will not be subject to hours of operation. Hours of use will be decided by and are subject to the discretion of the Board of Education.

Exceptions may be approved for special or exceptional circumstances and on an individual basis by the Parks and Recreation Board.

Field Closures

Red flags will be displayed at each field to indicate that the field is in a condition unsuitable for play.  This is determined by the Parks and Recreation Department and is meant to alert anyone approaching the field. 

Field closures could be for any number of reasons: saturated fields, sensitive growing period, or may be under some other maintenance precautions.

Failure to abide by the flags could result in a fine.

Note:  The absence of a flag does not automatically mean the field is playable.  If you notice muddy, soft, or areas of thin grass, please avoid activities in these areas.

Please direct any questions or concerns about our athletic fields to Allen Jones at jonesa@mtnbrook.org
