A group working to solve what it calls a shortage of athletic fields here is scheduled to present conceptual plans Thursday that call for new fields at Robert E. Fitch High School, Sutton Park and the former Claude Chester School. The recommendations would upgrade an outdated football field at the high school and add more fields and amenities for students and the community to use, according to the task force. The Athletic Fields Task Force will hold a public input session on the plans Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Thrive 55+ Active Living Center. The proposed designs, developed by Kent + Frost Landscape Architecture of Mystic, call for two full-sized multi-use fields, a half field, amenities, and parking at the former Claude Chester School site; rebuilding the baseball and softball fields at Sutton Park; renovating Fitch High School’s football field and track with new amenities and adding a softball field and multi-use field, among other features at the high school.
