Some highlights from the article
The city has another cricket facility in Central Park, with synthetic turf, lights, benches and rental fees for leagues and private events, but “cannot meet the reservation requests for organized cricket play and youth cricket participation continues to grow,” Bosques said. “Adding a youth-only cricket field to the citywide park system would help meet that emerging need.” While officials have still not decided whether to allow cricket at Palm Avenue Community Park, some sort of sports field or complex will almost certainly be built there to “meet industry safety standards.” A 750-square-foot barn, believed to have been built as early as 1905, will remain, city officials said. But nearby homeowners are worried flying cricket balls — which each weigh about five ounces — could injure a child or elderly person or damage homes or cars. “I don’t see how this is really needed, Leung said. “We’re not against cricket, it’s just way too close … You can’t use the park for any other purpose if you have cricket games going at the same time.” A previous city survey laid out the top requests for features for the new park from residents, which included a looped walking trail, public restrooms, parking and other things. Cricket did not appear anywhere near the top of the list, and cricket critics wonder how the sport made it into the park’s plans. Another park neighbor, Vinod Chandrashekaran, said “it seems this whole effort has been beholden to one single interest group.” As an immigrant from India, he played on street corners in his home country as a child, and has passed his love for the sport on to his son. But he worries the field will draw crowds that take over the park and parking on neighborhood streets. “I just don’t think this location is a great fit for a cricket field,” he said. But, he added, “To me, honestly, the damage is done … I don’t really have trust in the (city planning department), nor the process at this point,” Chandrashekaran said. Hemant Buch, founder of Fremont’s California Cricket Academy, told this news organization that he sees the field as a benefit for the community and his students. He acknowledged concerns about the dangers of a hard, leather-bound cricket ball but said that kids under 15 years old play with a tennis ball instead of a professional adult ball. He also said he has never seen an injury from a cricket ball in his 23 years of coaching the sport.
