Baseball Field Renovations Begin In Maplewood

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - Work began to repair the district’s varsity baseball field on Oct. 25, according to School Business Administrator/Board Secretary Paul Roth.

Repairs are expected to occur over a three-year period with the first phase of the project focusing on removing the lip between the infield and the outfield, which will help water to drain off of the field effectively, Roth said.

Additional work entails leveling and grading the outfield, which currently contains a number of depressions so that the outfield can be seeded and aerated. Future plans include adding grass to the infield, replacing back stops, repairing bleachers and placing gravel in the visitor seating area, Roth said.
