I've been playing ultimate with a group of people for a couple years on a
field located on the top of Mission Hill. It's at the top of Parker Hill
Avenue, just past the hospital. Me and a friend were playing there a few
Sundays ago and it was empty. It's big enough for two games. It's not
groomed as nicely as Downes, but we like it.

We are also trying to get more people together to play on Tuesday night, or
another weeknight. Looks like rain again this week, but next week i think
we'll try and get something together.

Hope to see on the field soon.
