Parks board approves short-term field use agreement with CCA Recreation at Alexander Park

The St. Lawrence Board of Parks and Recreation voted to enter an agreement with CCA Recreation to allow use of Alexander Park fields for a fall program beginning Sept. 2 and running through Nov. 3, 2025, at a fee of $25 per game per field, for a total session fee of $1,170. The board’s action clears the way for CCA to proceed with field use if it meets its roster deadlines. The item was presented as a single, discrete authorization to permit CCA to relocate games to Alexander Park if the organization has sufficient teams. Board members discussed existing softball schedules and weekday play at other parks; staff confirmed other leagues continue to use the city’s fields on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. No roll-call vote was recorded in the meeting transcript; the motion passed by voice vote. The agreement requires CCA to provide insurance and other standard indemnifications before play begins. The board did not record individual votes in the transcript and did not attach additional conditions to the motion. The decision was procedural — setting facility access and fees for a short fall season — and does not commit future seasons or alter standing field allocations. If CCA fields a full league by the league deadline, staff will finalize the rental agreement and collect payment prior to the first session.
