Dear St. Vrain Valley Community,
St. Vrain Valley Schools values our community and the many ways our shared spaces bring people together. We are proud to make our athletic fields and exterior play areas available for community use and appreciate the partnerships that make these opportunities possible.
To that end, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close all district athletic fields and exterior play spaces from May 20 through September 2026 due to unusually dry conditions this past winter and a significant lack of soil moisture. This proactive step protects the long-term health and playability of these spaces.
Our fields are a valued district asset that support a wide range of athletic programs, activities, and community experiences. Taking care of them now ensures they remain safe, high-quality environments that support school-based opportunities throughout the academic year.
We recognize the impact this closure may have for community groups and partners. District staff will continue to monitor weather patterns and field conditions. If moisture levels improve or weather conditions shift, we will reassess this decision and share any updates to field availability as soon as possible.
Thank you for your partnership in caring for these important community resources.
Sincerely,
Brian Lamer
Assistant Superintendent of Operations
St. Vrain Valley Schools
