The team is already paying for a permit to practice in Lawrence Park, and now the city is asking them to pay more if they want the park to be safer and cleaner.
She has shared photos of the trashed restrooms, drug paraphernalia and claims a man exposed himself to her 16-year-old daughter in the women's restroom.
She got in a brief confrontation with people hanging around the restrooms at the park and called the police when CBS13 met her out there earlier this month.
CBS13 ran into Mayor Pro Tem Eric Guerra, who represents the area where Lawrence Park is located, as he was heading back from his lunch break near City Hall on Tuesday. He agreed to speak with us, but it was not the answers the team wanted to hear.
Last week, the Lawrence Park Neighborhood Association hosted an event at the park that was co-sponsored by Guerra. Lovelady said she was shocked to find everything all cleaned up at the park.
"Th fact is it was neighbors that reached out hey we want to have a community function, so I worked with the neighbors to have a great event," said Guerra.
The city park's department has been corresponding with Lovelady via email for weeks. IN an email sent this week, the city's park manager, Shawn C. Aylesworth, said:
In the email, Aylesworth said the city does not have the budget or staffing to open and close the restrooms during the team's practices and offered the team three solutions: pay for your own porta-potties, pay overtime fees for city staff to open and close the restrooms or pay to hire private security.
"The proposed options are not required by the City for sports field permits and recurring field use. These options were offered in response to specific concerns raised by the organization and are available to any permitted group that wishes to add services beyond what the City normally provides.
"I don't think it should be costing the organization any more money," said Lovelady. "A lot of it is coming out of coaches' pockets and volunteers' pockets."
"There is always a solution," said Guerra. "I think it comes to folks coming to the table."
Lovelady said the city has offered to move the team to another park, but the one it proposed did not fit all 120 children. She is hopeful that more parks may open for them to move practices to in September.
She hopes it can still be a park in the historically underserved South Sacramento neighborhood, as many of the children who are on the team live there. She is concerned they would not have transportation to parks further away.
