Meadowridge resident testimony–Over the last 10 years, the football field was closed in with fencing to prevent the local community from damaging the football ground for the odd match to be played irregularly. Older residents would remember the site as a place to visit and have fun with their children but the high fences now make it seem like a protected fortress.
