Park System Improvements
Project Summary
A project to resurface the existing hockey rink and basketball courts at Municipal Park was recently authorized with a State Contract Vendor for $525,000 The project involves removing the existing asphalt, installing subsurface drainage and new asphalt, and applying a surface treatment appropriate for play. Asphalt repairs and installation will be completed this year and the surface treatment is scheduled for installation in Spring 2025.
The Township is funding these improvements with existing capital funds. They will address a significant safety issue with the courts. As part of this project, two of the existing basketball courts will be converted to pickleball courts and striped accordingly. The cost for this project will be incurred in 2024.
The 2025 proposed Budget also includes a $60,000 appropriation to repair tennis courts at the Recreation Center and an $18,000 appropriation to purchase a pool cover. This will reduce staff time required to clean the pool each year in preparation for summer camps.
