The Homewood Parks and Recreation Board celebrated the grand opening of the Second Phase of the Homewood Soccer Park on Saturday, March 27, 2010. This phase includes a large new field and a beautiful building containing a concession facility and rest rooms. Present to help celebrate this grand event were Berkley Squires Homewood Parks and Recreation Director and Tom Blake and Chris Mason, from the HP&R Board of Directors and Linda Sellers, HP&R Athletic Director. Mayor Scott McBrayer performed the ribbon cutting and was joined by Homewood City Council member Allyn Holladay and J. J. Bischoff, Executive Assistant to the Mayor.
Watching the event with pride and anticipation were David Putman, Soccer Director and Sean McBride, Director of Coaching, both from the Homewood Soccer Club, which is the primary user of the Soccer Park. The day was extra festive with a large crowd present to witness the event and the day’s soccer games while the children enjoyed the Soccer Clown, balloons and ice cream. It was a beautiful day to cut the ribbon and celebrate the opening of a beautiful new park for our community. Many thanks to all the people who made this possible.
