Motta Field Master Plan
Continuing a community planning process that began in November, the design firm Weston & Sampson will put forward two conceptual master plans for the new Motta Field on Feb. 8 at the school auditorium, 12 Winslow St.
The meeting on Wednesday marks the first time that these design plans, which incorporate resident and stakeholder feedback from a park field day on Nov. 19 and a community meeting on Dec. 1, will be made public. According to an announcement from Assistant Town Manager Dan Riviello, those present will be able to review the proposals and provide comments during a question-and-answer session.
Project designers and town officials also gathered input through a “Leave An Idea” opportunity at the Lions Club Craft Fair on Nov. 25 and 26, as well as through virtual office hours on Dec. 7. A QR code displayed at Motta Field brought visitors directly to the planning website, which features a public survey that asks respondents about their use of the field and priorities for its renovation.
Located at 25 Winslow St., Motta Field currently features three tennis courts, a softball field, and two soccer nets. It has long served as the home turf for Provincetown IB Schools. According to the press release from Riviello, the redesign will consider this precedent so as “to recognize the past while designing for the future.”
