Some were seen at Bowman Park, prompting the club to issue a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bardonlatrobe\">reminder<\/a> on social media: <em>&#8220;Please remind children that playing in the water at Bowman Park is not only dangerous and unhealthy, but even the lightest child is cutting up the turf. If we all stay off the park, then the grass has the capacity to recover remarkably quickly.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bardon Latrobe has urged the public to respect sporting spaces and for members to stay off the fields during the recovery process. The club remains optimistic about a swift return to play, stating: <em>&#8220;The fields are recovering well, and with everyone staying off like this, we\u2019ll all get back to playing soon.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfSJ9rg2JRosW6ktTl-REcoOiOKb3OF3q1wb4GeyFsWR_g-J1RUREqNzAhxH2gZrDtHjH7C12D48gsfwW3dPPJ2nnyIKKySxMRdM8HY4qC16PMmYhZw1KGaLyfVMMIPHX6Ac0aCuYp1v_rifE7y0A?key=BVIx5ikG9A60qPxdoNVo1PVp\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo credit: Bardon Latrobe Football Club\/Facebook<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Football Queensland has suspended all football activity until 17 March due to flooding and damage across many clubs.
