We played a tournament at East Cobb, and while the fields look great, there was trash everywhere. Drink bottles and other trash was all over the common areas and in the foliage around the park and batting cages. After all the money that went into upgrading the fields, please make it a priority to clean up the park and maintain it.
One of the biggest draws of playing at Lakepoint is not just the playing fields, but how well the facility is kept. I hope PG will invest in the personal to clean up ECB. |

| I would think the conversion of the fields are their top priority right now. The new playing surface is amazing and now the entire facility is essentially rainout-proof. They managed to get this work done in time for a full PG season. While we will be happy to see the other improvements when they happen, we are so thankful that East Cobb now has gone to this beautiful and practical artificial turf and will be home for PG events for the next generation. |

I think most people -- even most of those with a son playing for an East Cobb team -- would agree that there's NO excuse for overfull trash cans and trash all over the place for the first game of the day. The gate fees from one player's family would cover the cost to clean it up.
The turf is awesome, but that's irrelevant.

Agree with RedSoxFan1 and Gatravelbaseball. We were on a EC team this season and we've played at EC for years now. The trash has ALWAYS been a problem, along with the restrooms. No excuse. Especially when gates when from $5 to $10+tax, tourney fees on the rise, then the $$$ we pay just to register to be on a EC team.
FIX THIS.
From what I've heard they are tearing down the pavilions and making new ones.....not sure what the timeline is on that. |

Yes, I've been going to ECB for 10+ years, and it's always been a problem. Just a hunch that they just don't care, as they stay booked spring, summer, and fall every year.

| Would be nice if they refilled the soap dispensers in the restrooms, especially since frequent hand washing is encouraged due to COVID-19 (though it should always be encouraged). |

| Let's take it from the other side. I sat and watched some of the 17U games last night while my son practiced. Are fans not able to throw their own trash away? Cups, bottles, etc. just laying in the bleachers. Trash cans were not full and overflowing. Yes, ECB/PG needs to do things to improve but fans can do their part as well. |

Like I said, MOST people wouldn't try to make excuse. |
