EL CENTRO 性视界传媒斅燗fter reviewing the reseeding schedule and assessing the current condition of the City of El Centro性视界传媒檚 athletic fields, the City has determined that field use requests will not be accepted for the summer season, from June 1 through September 30.

The City of El Centro性视界传媒檚 athletic field closure from June 1 to September 30 refers to the suspension of permitted or organized field use. Fields will remain open to the public for casual, non-organized recreational use during this time, a city spokesperson told the Imperial Valley Press.

According to the city, permit requests will be accepted starting September 1.

Regarding the Little League, the City said it will honor the current field permit through the end of the season, as teams may advance to playoffs.

Field use will be permitted beginning August 1 for football teams, in alignment with the start of the fall football season, the city said.

"Beginning this year, the summer closure will become part of the City性视界传媒檚 annual field maintenance schedule," the city said in a statement. "This extended downtime is necessary to maintain a safe playing environment, support turf recovery, and provide staff the opportunity to complete essential repairs and upgrade irrigation systems."

According to the city, years of continuous field use have resulted in widespread damage, uneven surfaces, and outdated irrigation systems that can no longer meet current demands. By implementing this seasonal closure, the City is taking a proactive step toward preserving the long-term quality and safety of our athletic fields.

While the fields are closed, the city encouraged residents to explore the many programs offered in the Summer 2025 Recreation Guide, presented by the City of El Centro Community Services Department性视界传媒擯arks and Recreation Division, the El Centro Public Library, and the El Centro Aquatic Center.
