PSA - Respect the Field, Preserve the Future At the Watkins Glen Central School District, we are proud to keep Alumni Field open and accessible to the public. It's a space that supports our student-athletes, hosts community events, and provides opportunities for healthy activity and connection. However, we’ve recently noticed an increase in litter and personal items being left behind. This creates more work for our maintenance teams and detracts from the pride we all share in our facilities. 🔁 Let’s work together to keep Alumni Field clean, safe, and available for everyone—now and in the future. 📌 Please remember the following rules when using the field: 🚰 Water is the only drink allowed 🚫 No food, gum, seeds, nuts, or popcorn 👟 No metal spikes 🚳 No bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, vehicles, or equipment 🐕 No animals 🚭 No tobacco, drugs, or alcohol 🎆 No fireworks 🗑️ Carry In, Carry Out – Take your belongings and trash with you 🧾 Clean-up fees may be charged after inspections 🗑️ Garbage cans are available throughout the facility—please use them! Together, we can safeguard this incredible space for our students and our community. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of the Watkins Glen Central School District! Lets make sure that our facilities continue to make us #WGProud
