DE HART FIELD NEEDS WORK, AGAIN

Believe it or not, the new field at De Hart, which has been the subject of much disagreement and a big money renovation, needs more work.


News-Record reports:

The entire athletic field at Maplewood’s DeHart Park has to be torn out and resodded because of a mistake made during the installation, the township said.

Plastic netting is throughout the grass field, said Mayor Vic De Luca, who expressed concern that someone might get injured playing there.

He could not explain the presence of the netting but made clear that the township will not be financially responsible.

Township officials are looking to Turco Golf, the firm that installed the field, to make things right. According to the township, Turco offered last year to replace the sod.
