At the far west end of Gilman Street, past I-80 and the frontage road at the bay.  There are a total of five fields at this location:  Gilman North Turf, Gilman South Turf, Gilman East (grass), Gilman Northwest (grass),  Gilman Southwest (grass).  Rain will not cause a closure of the artificial turf fields at Gilman.  However, the grass fields at that site will be subject to closure in bad weather.  When the rainout hotline specifies that the Gilman fields are OPEN, this refers to the GRASS fields.  The artificual turf fields remain open in the rain unless deemed unsafe by a referee on site.

NO FOOD OR DRINK BESIDES WATER ARE ALLOWED ON THE GILMAN ARTIFICIAL TURF AND GRASS FIELDS.
  Snacks only in parking lot or by the bay.  The rule may change for grass fields after access to grass fields is provided from grass perimeter, not only through artificial turf fields gate as it is now.

Also check the great ACCYSL Fields Information page for directions to more fields used by our club on game day and updates on field conditions and closures.

Rainouts
Rainouts (game cancellations) are determined on a field-by-field basis.  Due to varying drainage dynamics, some grass fields may remain open in wet weather while others are closed.  Teams ignoring the closure announcements (hotline msg or sign posted at field) will be fined $250. Artificial turf fields (Gilman North/South - turf, Kennedy High, Richmond High) will not be closed in wet weather.
