Title

Request from Madison Cricket Club for the use of Reindahl Park cricket pitch under terms of a fee modification for 2019-2021.

 

Body

Madison Cricket Club is a non-profit cricket recreation league formed in Madison, Wisconsin for all of the cricket playing community. The Club supports cricket opportunities for about 300 League members and players. For at least fourteen years, the Madison Cricket Club has held practices and games at Reindahl Park. With the growth in popularity of the game, increase in the number of leagues and the determination that Reindahl will remain the primary east side cricket field location for at least the next 5 - 10 years, there is a desire to make improvements at the location. Example of improvements include installing a new carpet at the cricket pitch, intensified care of grass for a better outfield environment, lining of the out of bound marker (instead of flags) and upgrade of the practice pitch structure and net. The Parks Division intends to manage and maintain the cricket field similar to other athletic field locations in the park system. The Parks Division will be responsible for capital improvement costs and the reserving group will be responsible for maintenance costs beyond the standard treatment applied to all athletic fields in the system as outlined in this fee modification.
