Long
bridge
is
the
most
ambitious
effort
we've
made
as
a
county
for
a
recreation
area.
We
have,
as
you
can
see
here,
three
synthetic
turf
fields
that
are
built
to
Fife
and
NC
double-a
standards.
I
think
it
is
safe
to
say
these
are
the
three
best
fields
for
soccer
in
the
entire
washington
metropolitan
area
that
exists
today.

Trying
to
take
what
was
a
wasteland
and
negotiate
with
many
different
parties
to
get
ownership
of
it
and
then
the
county
to
transform
it
into
this
magical
place
today.
This
is
really
the
first
day
of
official
opening
of
these
fields
and
rain,
gardens
and
esplanade,
and
it's
just
gorgeous-
and
this
can
be
a
great
asset
for
this
community
for
decades
to
come
and
we're
not
done.
