The text
A.
Standing water occurs because the ground is saturated. Removing standing water does not eliminate saturation. It is the saturation and not standing water that causes damage and unsafe conditions.
B.
Determining the playability of a grass field is crucial to the continued health of the turf and the sustainability of the field throughout the season. The department will close its grass fields if park staff determine that fields are too wet for play or if other issues arise that would compromise patron safety.
C.
In case of inclement weather, the scheduled field/facilities are not to be used. Be aware that if organizations use the field/facility during inclement weather, you and your organization will be held responsible for all damages that may occur because of such use, including repair costs and lost revenue due to prolonged closure. It is the user group's responsibility to call the city community center rainout line at 801-621-6084 Monday through Friday after 4:00 p.m., and Saturdays after 8:00 a.m. to verify field closures.
D.
Leagues and users have the responsibility to close fields for play when safety and/or field damage is possible.
E.
A grass field should be considered closed if any of the following conditions exist:
1.
There is standing water present on any part of the field that cannot be removed without causing damage to the field.
2.
There are muddy conditions present that will not dry naturally by the start of the use.
3.
While walking on the field, water can be seen or heard with any footstep.
4.
While walking on the field, any impression of your footprint is left in the surface.
5.
If water gathers around the sole of a shoe or boot on any portion of the field.
6.
If it is raining or lightning is present or near.
F.
Any unauthorized use of fields or violation of the policy may be subject to a one hundred dollars ($100.00) fine and the team in violation and the league or association may be suspended from further field use. First time violations of this policy will generally result in a fine, while subsequent policy violations will result in a minimum of a one-year suspension.
G.
COMPLIANCE: Park visitors must comply with all posted signs, this policy or any other state or city law, rule, or regulation. Park staff, alone or in coordination with law enforcement, have the authority to enforce park rules and address violations. Visitors must comply with requests made by park staff or law enforcement, including the direction to cease an activity, vacate a particular area of the park or may ask visitors to leave.
H.
VIOLATIONS OF PARK RULES: Those who engage in disruptive behavior, or who damage park property may be fined, penalized, or restricted on current or future use of park facilities. Issued permits for events or group use may also be revoked if organizers fail to comply with park rules and regulations or cause damage to city property at any time. Riverdale City reserves the right to close all facilities for any reason.
