Mini Soccer Courts Proposed For Wilson Park In Freehold Borough

FREEHOLD BOROUGH, NJ — Freehold Borough is set to host a public hearing on Tuesday to review proposed plans for improvements to Wilson Park.

The borough is seeking funding for improvements through the state’s Green Acres Program, which was created to help meet the state’s growing recreation and conversation needs.

Proposed plans include two mini-pitch soccer courts, which will be installed over the existing soccer field in the same area. The site is currently used as a public park and by the Freehold Borough Little League.

According to an estimate from the borough engineer, the estimated total cost of Wilson Park improvements will be $629,909. An environmental impact assessment has been completed for the project as well.

Residents are encouraged to attend the hearing on Tuesday to learn more about the project, ask questions, or provide comments on the proposed plan.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be held in person at Borough Hall as part of the regularly scheduled council meetings.

For those who cannot attend, written comments on the proposed application can also be sent to Borough Administrator Stephen Gallo at sgallo@freeholdboro.org.
