The closure of City sports fields means that all leased fields, including those used by schools, are off-limits during a specified time frame. Using these fields when they are closed is strictly prohibited. Permitted leagues found using a closed field may face fines or loss of field usage for the season. Unpermitted users will receive a warning or citation if caught on a closed field.
To stay updated on field closures, interested parties can sign up for email or text alerts on the City’s website. Simply click on “View All” under press releases on the main page, then click on “Notify Me” on the right side. You can add your email address and select which groups you want to receive messages from, as well as specify if you prefer email, phone alerts, or both. Closure information can also be found on the City’s website at www.cityoffrederick.com or by calling the public information line at 301-600-6970, option 3. Closures are typically posted by 2 pm on weekdays and 8 am on weekends.
