The Search for Concord-Carlisle Field Sites

Finding suitable sites for new playing fields in Concord is not an easy task.  Since 1990, over two dozen sites around town have been examined, studied, and proposed.

These years of study have concluded that the hill site behind Concord-Carlisle High School is the best possible choice for siting the new multi-purpose fields.

The link below will open a presentation that will take you through, in detail:

• the math behind the choice of building two new fields as opposed to turfing existing fields;
• the timeline of considering 25 different sites since 1990; and
• a detailed explanation of each site considered.
