Tom Dawson, assistant director of , explains the layout. Behind him is the planned 120-yard championship field.

Windy day, but thrilled to join Mayor Steve Schewel, new director Wade Walcutt, Skanska officials and more to break ground on Durham's new four-field soccer complex.

We miss our regular Sunday morning soccer games at Twin Lakes Park, but this morning we went there and picked up trash instead.

We filled 2.5 bags just in the area around the soccer field. We'll make another trip soon to work on the rest of the park!

We had a beautiful time yesterday at Snow Hill Road Park for our final regular season soccer games. Congrats to Motorco for winning the season title, and to Pour Taproom for winning the second flight trophy!

Durham! WD Hill Recreation Center, where we play futsal on Thursdays, just got a state historical marker commemorating the legendary Algonquin Club, an African American social club where rising young tennis stars like Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson played during the segregation era.

As Mayor Schewel noted in remarks, this club should not have been necessary, but it was, and it served a vital need with distinction.

We're saying goodbye to Kosta, but he isn't in this picture. However, Crystal Dunn is! We met her last fall at East End Park. She's the starting left back for the US women's national team. They're playing for the World Cup title on Sunday morning at 11. Our event starts a few hours later at East End Park!

A wonderful and eye-opening feature. Very excited about the start of the Women's World Cup!
