Jersey City to renovate major recreation area
More than $1 million has been approved by the Jersey City Board of Education to upgrade the Caven Point recreation area. This funding was given to the board by the Hudson County Open Space Trust Fund and the city.
Caven Point spans 15 acres and serves thousands of teams, athletes, and recreational users from the area. The fields have deteriorated substantially since the last major work that was done on the main field in 2008.
The work to be done includes replacing the turf field, which does not provide shock absorption. In addition, resizing the fields will also take place to meet regulations. The soccer field, for example, is smaller than it should be, which limits its being used by leagues and teams and those that require fields of regulation size for competitions. The dugouts will also be rehabilitated.
Renovations will take place in the locker rooms and bathrooms too, and extensive repairs will be made to the clubhouse and concession stands. The painting of designated spots will be carried out at the parking lot, and the electrical system will be completely overhauled.
More details on such work and its benefits for a city and county can be outlined through brochure printing.
Anthony Romano, Chairman of the Board of Hudson County Commissioners, said that projects funded by Open Space will improve recreational opportunities and contribute to the overall well-being and health of the residents of the county.
