Syosset park to receive makeover in time for spring
Officials in Syosset have announced plans to improve a local park
Syosset-Woodbury Community Park sees a lot of use, both by area sports organizations and by residents. As a result, the field in the park has a lot of wear and tear.
Joseph Saladino, the Town Supervisor for the Town of Oyster Bay, told Patch:
Towns that are planning repair and improvement projects can use banners to let residents know of the plans and to keep them updated on the course of the project. According to Saladino, the field at the park gets used by sports teams pretty much every day. It is also used over the summer by area camps and by high school athletic booster clubs.
Improvement work on the field will include replacing the turf, the synthetic turf, and the infill. The project will leave the stone base and existing drainage system intact.
According to Anthony Macagnone, a councilman, the town will use the most up-to-date infilled turf system for the field. The new system will be considerably longer-lasting than older models and will look and feel more like real grass. Since the turf will not become muddy or soggy like natural grass, teams will be able to play in all conditions.
