CPNO should, perhaps, develop guidelines to submit to the city. It may or may not help, but atleast they would be aware of what the neighborhood's expectations are and may be reluctant to overtly step outside our recommendations. Let's try to match the scale of the event to the scale of the park. Finally, while I agree with the writer that the number of events is increasing, I don't think the situation is out of hand. Furthermore, CPNO could benifit from other events by using them to publicize current initiatives, to raise money, to incerase membership, etc.
Soccer is a universal language.
Like music, it is one thing that many people around the world share in common. PIck-up games have been a tradition in Candler and Iverson Parks for over two decades. It's always an international affair, and is something that has made Candler Park unique and special. I can hear the soccer games and practices where I live. It is one of the things I like to most about the park.
