    Open the parks and let the kids play baseball. Phoenix is the only city not allowing kids to play and it's ridiculous!!! This has nothing to do with safety as it is completely safe for the kids to play. Enough already!

    Scottsdale Cal Ripken has a Return To Play Plan that shows how committed they are to the physical and mental safety of our players and families. We are asking that you give SCR the opportunity to present our Return To Play Plan to you in hopes that you will see the value in having the parks open for our children. Please consider open the parks back up for our children, thank you.

    Scottsdale Cal Ripken has a Return To Play Plan that shows how committed we are to not only the physical safety of our players and families, but their mental health as well. We are asking that you give SCR the opportunity to present our Return To Play Plan to you in hopes that you will see the value in having the parks open for our children. Our children need the social, emotional, and physical benefits that playing youth sports provides. Please consider open the parks back up for our children.

    BLM freedom of speech may be stupid but we can do better. We want another mural on 1st street, opposite the basketball stadium UYGHUR LIVES MATTER. These are the oppressed minority in China that are being exterminated by the Chi-Coms. If the NBA will only support BLM because of the money they from the Chi-Coms then we would have a violation of the 14th amendment equal protection clause because their NBA puppets have free speech but the people do not. Let the Jury decide. I love it.

    Scottsdale Cal Ripken has submitted a safe plan to return to youth sports. Our children benefit physically, emotionally, and socially when participating in youth sport. I encourage you to open our city parks for our children.

    Youth sports provides a platform for our young student athletes to learn the importance of teamwork, discipline, hard work and determination. Scottsdale Cal Ripken has a plan for a safe return and we are asking for you to open up the parks so our kids have the opportunity to practice these skills again.

    Please open Phoenix City parks/fields as soon as possible for our children to participate in organized sports programs. The Cal Ripken Baseball and RSL AZ Soccer programs have proven their commitment to following the AZ DHS health & safety guidelines, and they have been practicing since May on alternate fields with no incident. Please open city parks/fields immediately for organized sports organizations to reserve and use for organized practices and competitions. Thank you for your consideration

    I am writing to request that the City of Phoenix open the parks and baseball fields to allow for youth to participate in sports. It is important for kids to return safely to sports with safety measures in place.

    ISSUE: City of Phoenix fields & parks being closed for youth sports - Youth Baseball tournaments and practices have been going on in different parts of the valley since the end of May. There have been no documented problems from Fountain Hills to Queen Creek. The City of Phoenix is one of the last to remain closed. What statistical data does the City of Phoenix have for keeping outdoor parks/fields closed? Lets get kids and families out of the house and back to living healthy lives. Thank you.

    I am writing to ask that you please open city parks and fields as soon as possible in order to enable the children of Phoenix to participate in soccer. Our RSL AZ club, and the Arizona Soccer Association have proven their commitment to following the proposed department of health guidelines and take extra precautions to protect children and their families. We urge you to open city parks and fields immediately for organized sports organizations to reserve and use for organized competitions.

    Specific to parks being closed for youth sports - where are the metrics to the hard line of being the last city in the Valley to hold out providing these services. Our kids need interaction, exercise and socialization. Yes the virus is serious, but we can return to sports safely, namely baseball and soccer. Please make an agenda item at your council meeting to open the parks!

    It goes without saying all lives matter. Use the resources to actually improve all lives. BLM is an anti American organization.

    The streets of Phoenix are already dangerous enough without adding massive murals and distracting street markings. I strongly OPPOSE pilot project for the installation of a Black Lives Matter street mural in downtown Phoenix. Such murals can be added to city parks or other open public spaces, not on the streets of Phoenix.
