New build backs on to school playing field

Looking at buying a lovely big new build. Small local developer, lived in new build previously. No issues with the build side of things.
The available plot backs onto a school playing field, that doesn’t bother me at all, we have 3 children who will all go to the school at different stages so great for convenience.
The thing that bothers me is the schools perimeter fence which has an added net to catch any stray balls. Our rear fence would be 2m high but the net will still be much much taller! It’s ugly and I’m worried I won’t be able to see past it! I think i am overthinking but wondered if anyone lives in a similar location?

Surely it's better than all the balls ending up in your garden.

Grow something up against it to hide the ugliness

Not lived in a similar location, but if I did I'd immediately plant a row of trees along the fence which would eventually grow much higher than the fence and screen the net.
