On June 2, 1999 the Berkshire Kick-Off
Classic Soccer Tournament, a community-supported soccer
tournament, announced plans to improve the soccer fields on
the campus of Berkshire Community College. The group pledged
$25,000
for the construction of
lights and a scoreboard and added “In conjunction with
legislative funds, and the Kick-Off Classic donation, this
facility will be a treasure to soccer enthusiasts throughout
Pittsfield.” The construction of a pressbox was soon added
to the project.

At this time, the athletic fields of
Berkshire Community College along West Street in Pittsfield
included four soccer fields, a field house, and a swimming
pool. Nearby there were a campus pond, a certified vernal
pool, and a small stream.The project was an ideal partnership that
involved the soccer group, the college, and community
members, and could easily be implemented without harm to the
nearby wetlands. Environmental faculty at the college, who
had for years used the vernal pool as an instructional site
for students, supported the project, although they did
remind college administrators of environmental safeguards
that would need to be implemented during
construction.The base map is available at a
Commonwealth of Massachusetts web site (MassGIS).
This photo was taken before any of the newly proposed work
was done on the fields.
