PRINCETON — The Princeton Park Board will not authorize a special committee to work on getting soccer tournaments at the new Zearing Park expansion site.

At Monday’s meeting of the Princeton Park Board, board member Dennis Nink said he’d like to see more forward movement in getting soccer tournaments played on Zearing Park’s eight new soccer/multi-purpose fields. In his opinion, a special committee, consisting of a park board member, park district management and members of the community could focus on that goal and help get it accomplished.

As an update, Elaine Russell, executive director, said she had met earlier with Nink and fellow board member Carl Pacunas to discuss their concerns about the new 40 acres, specifically the soccer fields not being used for tournament play.
