Wet Field Guidelines
The Municipality of Chatham-Kent recognizes the preservation and maintenance of its sports fields to the highest industry standards benefits user groups and preserves our important assets. To preserve these fields and promote their use, we are committed to protecting the fields against non-permitted or unauthorized use. We will not allow play on fields or diamonds when there is visual ponding of water on the surface of the field/diamond and the field is saturated.
The definition of a saturated field is one where the soil cannot absorb any additional moisture, and water runs off the surface or pools on the field. The easiest method to determine if a field is saturated is to walk on the playing surface. If the water is pushed around the foot, then the field is saturated.
