Report
They have really done a great job with re vamping the fields at Blue Heron for Peninsula Soccer. The fields seem to have good drainage and keep pretty dry for grass. The clubhouse and concession is very mice with a lot to offer. Still lacks a bit in the parking dept. even though there is quit a bit of it. Just that narrow road to get in isn't great.
