The ongoing drought and dry weather has caused large cracks and holes to appear on the fields at Ramon Lucio ballpark in San Marcos.

City officials say it's made the fields unsafe to use so the Parks and Recreation department decided to delay play Monday, Setpember 18.

The rest of the park will remain open as the Public Works Department works to mitigate the issue and the Parks Athletics Crew works on the fields.
