All options will be explored for additional playing fields

by Sam Levine, Marisa Steele, Sarah Tate, Matthew Benway, ​​​​​​​Anne McWaters  ·   Friday, November 8, 2024

The need for additional recreational playing fields in Harvard is real. This issue has been analyzed by both in-town studies as well as independent third-party reviews. The question of where these fields can be placed is ongoing and no definite recommendation has been made to date.

As the Select Board and Parks and Recreation Commission explore multiple avenues, please be assured that all possible options are being considered, factoring in environmental and climate concerns, costs, convenience, and so on. Recommendations will be made once all pertinent data is obtained. In the meantime, patience and civility are appreciated while recent new options are being explored. Finally, a recommendation is simply a recommendation. There will be public discourse and a town vote before any final decision is made concerning the playing fields.
