Now that FieldTurf in Ripon has been in place for one season, I found this interesting tidbit on the Internet. Ripon, California has formed a citizen's group, similar to the one we have had in Ripon, to bring FieldTurf to their field and modernize their athletic facilities. Here is their website.
From the Ripon Community Athletic Foundation - "We are a group of caring citizens like you.Our mission is to help athletes, students and Ripon's community to realize theirfull potential through athletics and physical activity.The initial way we plan to fulfill our mission is to replace, as soon as possible,Ripon High School's track and football field with an all-weather track andsynthetic athletic field which would accommodate both soccer and football. We will support replacement and expansion of existing non-ADA compliant bleachers to accommodate a growing population. New ADA compliant bathrooms and sidewalks will also be part of the plans.Unchanged for many years, R.H.S.'s track and field is in need of replacement. Itis our goal to bring Ripon Athletic programs into the 21st century. This facilitywill encourage students along with the community to build healthy lifestyles and prepare them for lifelong physical fitness.We can only do this with your help."
