The decision to remove the turf project from Powell Park and transfer it to Portland Parks & Recreation reflects a significant disregard for the needs of students and athletes in Southeast Portland, as they are left with inadequate facilities to support their various sports activities.
With only one full turf field designated for Cleveland High, the overwhelming number of teams struggling for practice space demonstrates the urgent need for additional resources to foster youth athletics and community engagement in Southeast Portland.
By turfing Powell Park, it would not only provide Cleveland High School students with necessary practice areas but also serve as a crucial asset for local youth teams, enhancing sports opportunities in the community.
The current situation highlights a pressing issue in Southeast Portland, where students must navigate logistical challenges for practice while the community loses out on a vital recreational resource.
