By Charlie Breitrose | August 16, 2018

The Committee looking at the Renovation of the track and courts area of Victory Field heard from a variety of residents and users of the facility and came up with a plan they hope balances the needs of the school sports programs, people who use the area recreationally and neighbors. After more than a year and a dozen meetings, the Ad Hoc Committee on Victory Field Phase 2 presented a list of more than 50 recommendations. At Tuesday’s Town Council meeting, Town Council President Mark Sideris commended the members of the committee for recommendations they came up with. “I applaud all of them for listening to the community and coming up with a plan that in my opinion is a very good report,” Sideris said. The committee members included Town Councilors, neighbors of the field, Youth Sports, and representatives from the Town and the Watertown Public Schools.
