Editor’s Note: This column, “LBWA” (Leadership By Wandering Around), is based on the premise that, in order to find out what’s going on in the field, a parks and rec leader has to leave his or her desk and “wander around” the area of operations, talk to people, ask questions, and kick around ideas with the individuals in the thick of delivering services to the public. So the author will bring up issues and ask the leaders among the readership to share their knowledge and experiences.
In Toy Story, the animated character of Buzz Lightyear, fighting all enemies of goodness, says, “To infinity and beyond!”
In considering the topic of this column I see that the star of the show in sports—the natural-turf field—is expected to withstand intense multipurpose use for football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, and other special events.
