Development of Soccer Field at Mapleview Farm <br />The Board considered authorizing the possible development of a soccer field at Mapleview <br />Farm. <br />Diane McDuffie, Carrboro Alderperson, said that she chaired the committee made up of <br />soccer groups in Orange County that prepared the report. Rainbow Soccer, Triangle Football, and <br />Durham/Chapel Hill Strikers participated in the committee. She spoke about the interest in Orange <br />County for soccer and the increasing diversity of players in the County. In Orange County, there are <br />community non-profit groups who provide soccer programming for all segments of the community. She <br />said that even though the Parks and Recreation departments da not have to provide the programming far <br />soccer, they should still provide the fields and the facilities because these groups are moving hundreds <br />of children daily to nearby counties that do provide the facilities. She said that when Bob Nutter and his <br />wife offered some land for development of soccer fields, the community non-profit groups stepped <br />forward and offered to share the cost of the development of this field with the County. The details are in <br />the report. She hopes that the upcoming bond referendum will include funds for development of enough <br />soccer fields that will allow Orange County soccer players to stay in Orange County. <br />
