Construction Update

Please pardon our dust.

Construction of Newark’s new Synthetic Turf Fields and Skate Park is currently underway at Sportsfield Park!    

Work began this spring on the construction of new all-weather synthetic turf sports fields and a 12,000 square foot skate park.  When complete, the new sports fields will have the capacity to provide two full-sized regulation soccer fields or four youth soccer fields.  The skate park will be located on Mowry Avenue between the Silliman Center and Fire Station No. 27 and feature street, bowl, and elevated ramp skate features. The City anticipates both facilities to be ready for use by September 2019.
