Cleveland dedicates field for growing sport fustal

The Cleveland City Council has dedicated the new field at Oldfield, a futsal facility located at Blythe-Oldfield Park. The project is the result of a partnership between the city and Tennessee Department of Health with an $80,000 Healthy Built Environment Grant to support the installation of the court. Futsal, a fast-paced variation of soccer commonly played on smaller fields, has grown in popularity across the country. The Blythe-Oldfield court will be 125 feet by 65 feet, featuring a lined, artificial turf surface. Great Southern Recreation is leading the installation of the turf, while the city’s Public Works Department is contributing matching in-kind services through site preparation.
