Exciting Park Improvements Planned – We Want Your Input!
Ewing Township is applying for a $4.63 million grant through the National Park Service’s Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program to fund major improvements to LiMato Field and the Municipal Complex Soccer Fields. PLEASE JOIN US AT TONIGHT'S (March 10) RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, 7 P.M. AT HOLLOWBROOK CENTER.
The project consists of the conversion of the existing grass football field with synthetic turf at John S Watson Park and the conversion of the two (2) existing grass soccer fields to two (2) synthetic turf soccer fields at the Municipal Complex Park. Improvements consist of the installation of a synthetic turf field with underdrain system, installation of bleachers, soccer nets, scoreboards and drainage improvements. Additionally, green infrastructure and native plants will be added to the fields to promote biodiversity.
Over the next several years, the Township has set out on transforming the landscape of their parks and recreational facilities for the future. This project will be one of the first steps in providing sustainable land development for some of the most frequently used facilities in the area. Therefore, the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership grant is essential for ensuring that these improvements will be effective for a long period of time. (National Park Service Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Grant Application Letter)
As part of the grant process, we are committed to engaging the community every step of the way. There will be multiple opportunities for residents to view project plans, share feedback, and ask questions in the coming months. Your input will help shape the final design and ensure these upgrades best serve our community’s needs.
