The City’s Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments are resolving light pole safety concerns at the Hadley Sports Complex and Apodaca Softball Fields.
On March 10, 2025, the City announced the closure of the Hadley Sports Complex (which includes Harty, Paz, Ron Galla and Maag fields) and Apodaca softball fields to assess the safety concerns around the stability of the poles.
Ron Galla field does not need to have poles removed and replaced. It will re-open for normal operations on March 31, 2025.
Poles at Maag Park are being removed. It will open for daytime play on March 31, 2025.
Paz and Harty are still undergoing pole disposal and clean up. They are expected to open in the coming weeks for daytime play only.
Apodaca Softball Fields do not yet have a schedule for reopening as pole removal began this week.
Fields open for daytime play will have barrels placed over the location of removed poles. Those attending games or practices will be asked to avoid the area where the barrels are placed for obvious safety reasons.

Parks & Recreation will communicate with leagues to create schedules for field use in the coming months.
Apodaca Park baseball fields, Burn Lake soccer fields, High Noon fields 1-5, Provencio Van Damme fields and East Mesa Public Recreation Complex fields were not affected and have remained open.
