The Brandon Area Soccer Association wants kids to register this year through them instead of through the Sioux Falls Soccer Association, so the BASA can get a better idea of how many Brandon-area kids are playing soccer.
That will help justify new soccer fields at McHardy Park, organizers say.
The city already has budgeted money toward fields, but the state Game, Fish and Parks Department has to approve the fields before they can be built.
Do you think soccer fields are a good idea for McHardy Park? There are some practice fields at Pioneer Park, and some games are played at Brandon Elementary. But the fields at McHardy Park would be big enough to play regular games on.

Brandon is long overdue for some decent soccer fields, but is there enough room at McHardy Park? What about the old Concrete Materials location? I think it would be wise to make an addition to Aspen Park and build the fields down there.

The proposed soccer fields at McHardy Park are planned for the cornfield south of bridge and the city shop. There is a wonderful set of drawings at city hall that show the entire McHardy Park development. Go there and ask to see them!

There was supposed to be a baseball field in that drawing too. Nothing has materialized since that was drawn a long time ago.
Will the park be as enjoyable for people not at the soccer games, or will the noise and extra traffic/activity deter park visitors?
