1. How to book a part of Chapples Park for soccer.
Original English title:How to reserve a part of Chappell park to play soccer.
Post content summary:Hi everyone, I have a question about playing soccer at Chapples Park. Every time we go there, there's usually a club already playing. Once I asked if my friends and I could use a small section of the field, but I was told their club reserves the whole field. We're only 7-8 people and just want a small space to play casually, not the whole field. Does anyone know how the booking system works? Can you book just part of the field, or do you have to book the entire soccer field?
