East Brunswick Will Replace The Synthetic Turf At Heavenly Farms Field

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — The Township on Monday adopted a resolution authorizing the replacement of the synthetic turf field at Heavenly Farms Field C.

Through the resolution, the council awarded a contract to Field Turf USA for an amount not exceeding $357,460.

Councilwoman Dana Zimbicki noted that the current turf is around 14 years old and is beyond its usefulness.

“It’s actually dangerous to some degree because of the ripples in the turf,” Zimbicki said.

Currently, there’s no timeline yet for replacing the synthetic turf.

The field was initially built with the intention of being used by people with disabilities and other athletic groups in the community, Zimbicki said.

“The field is going to be redone to accommodate the older age groups of baseball and softball players,” Zimbicki said. “It is definitely one of the most well-used facilities in our community.”

The resolution was adopted unanimously.
