Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a design-build for Volunteers Memorial Park Athletic Field in Florham Park, New Jersey.
The Client
The park was named Volunteers Memorial Park to honor all the volunteers who helped bring about the park.
The Challenge
The project required preparing the existing grass playing area for a new synthetic turf system and coordinating field equipment and perimeter fencing.
Construction Process
This design-build project consisted of several phases, starting with the excavation of the existing grass field. Next, a newly constructed stone sub-base was laser graded.
Following that, Keystone installed Shaw Sports Turf’s top-tier Legion NXT system for this sports field. Batter’s boxes, catcher’s box, and pitcher’s mound were also provided.
Additionally, new chain-link fencing has been installed around the perimeter of the fields.
