Community Input Survey Cricket Field Location Options at Ken Mercer Sports Park <br />157 <br />158 <br />Cricket is a sport that is too loud for play of any age - adults and children - so close to the <br />homes that back to the park. I've experienced it every weekend for the past 5 years, and have <br />called to ask for help to stop it from occuring before 8am. If you look at the radius, the circle <br />would be in our backyards if you moved it 90 degrees. that is the problem, it is too loud. <br />Cricket is a game where each and every bat up includes loud clapping and yelling and cheering <br />(BEFORE 8 am on weekends ) unlike any other sport every allow play in this sports park, they <br />should be in a field like across bernal, where there are NO HOMES within 50 FT. Keep the play <br />as is and find or fund another place that is nowhere close to residents for noisy sport play. The <br />clapping is non stop and so is the cheering. And to ask for this to go year round, is just an <br />impossible solution. The cricket players would not want to play cricket in their backyards, <br />basically what you are proposing. i live at 2526 skylark for 31 yearsand back the sports park <br />and it's only been the last 5 that this has become a nuisance. i love the sports park, but play <br />and practice, organized or not, is being played DURING DAYLIGHT hours which is currently 6 <br />AM ...it's just NOT a feasible proposal. Cricket needs to be played close to the freeway where <br />the sound would be possibly be drowned out by the traffice noise. <br />No lights and way to noisy for long events <br />159 1 don't like the idea of safety nettings; they get vandalized. Adults will play in this area and <br />homes will get hit. <br />160 <br />161 <br />Current cricket players in this area are all adults. They already play on the under 14 baseball <br />field without regard to the age limitations. We have had cricket balls hit into our backyard. <br />Unless the rules on age are enforced this will continue on any cricket field built here. <br />Tapeball cricket should be allowed <br />162 No adult. Safety issue with fence <br />163 Closer to the homes. Kids might not hit the home. But when there not playing the adults will <br />play and hit further than the 150' mark. <br />164 Where will the adult field be? <br />165 This fields already see a considerable about of impact from football games and community <br />soccer training programs. They are also used a makeshift dog park which irks me to no end. <br />26/37 <br />6/20/2022 4:45 PM <br />6/20/2022 10:54 AM <br />6/19/2022 3:33 PM <br />6/18/2022 8:19 AM <br />6/17/2022 11:36 PM <br />6/17/2022 10:54 PM <br />6/17/2022 7:30 PM <br />6/16/2022 10:30 PM <br />6/16/2022 6:41 PM <br />surrounding streets. Now imagine baseball and soccer going at the same time in the <br />summer/fall plus an additional league. Parking will be a nightmare all of the time. <br />145 <br />The park is already too crowded and there isnt enough parking spots. It'll push traffic into <br />6/23/2022 5:22 PM <br />residential areas and cause accident <br />146 <br />There is no parking on sports weekends already and there's really no parking at this end <br />6/23/2022 5:20 PM <br />between the new park and the cluster of baseball fields. <br />147 <br />I'm like location #3 only <br />6/23/2022 12:48 PM <br />148 <br />Cricket overlaps with soccer and there is restrictions on the playing months <br />6/23/2022 8:05 AM <br />149 <br />1 do not prefer this option because the location too close to kids' play areas and parking lot. <br />6/23/2022 12:36 AM <br />Cricket ball is heavy and can potentially injure kids and damage car exterior. During play, it will <br />be common for a heavy cricket ball to travel beyond the distance shown in the picture. <br />150 <br />Parking is available for this location with little disruption to existing sports <br />6/22/2022 10:03 PM <br />151 <br />Again, need both adult and youth play <br />6/22/2022 4:42 PM <br />152 <br />Plan does not interfere with current usages <br />6/2212022 3:40. PM <br />153 <br />best option <br />6122/2022 3:16 PM <br />154 <br />This location looks the best for not having to share space with another sport, however, it gives <br />6/2212022 2:28 PM <br />the appearance of being at 'the back of the bus" because it's at the end of the park. I like that <br />it seems to be its own space, and it is all on one surface, just grass. <br />155 <br />If you're building a new field, why would you only allow youth -size knowing there are so many <br />6/21/2022 7:52 PM <br />adults in Pleasanton who also play? Aren't your core values to be inclusive of all ages and <br />abilities? A cricket field at Muirwood would be far better than this option. <br />156 <br />Too many houses in area, potential damage or injury from cricket balls <br />6/21/2022 9:15 AM <br />157 <br />158 <br />Cricket is a sport that is too loud for play of any age - adults and children - so close to the <br />homes that back to the park.
