2 New Turf Baseball Fields To Be Installed In Bridgewater

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Two new turf fields will be installed at the Prince Rodgers Baseball Complex in Bridgewater.

At the Nov. 7 Council meeting, the Township Council approved a resolution consenting to the installation by Bridgewater Baseball and Softball, Inc. at no cost to the Township.

"As you know, this facility has been in existence for many years. This property is actually owned by the Township and therefore it is appropriate for the governing body to officially consent to it," said Township Administrator Michael Pappas.

The resolution indicates that Bridgewater Baseball and Softball, Inc. is assuming the cost of the project and will maintain the facilities.

"The purpose of this is it's their improvement on our land," said Councilman Michael Kirsh. "The current field lasted 10 years."

Township Engineer Bill Burr has also reviewed the plans and approved them, said Pappas.

"Bridgewater Baseball has been a tremendous asset to this Township in providing one whale of a lot of money for projects like this," said Council President Howard Norgalis.
