visitors and their vehicles.  
A 60” zero turn mower is being purchased to allow for more efficient  
maintenance of the grass fields at Schneider Park. High quality turf is  
essential to marketing these fields for matches and tournaments which  
has a direct impact on their ability to positively affect our local  
economy.
