Multi-Use Field at 1600 Park to Open in Early August

City sports leagues, teams and community organizations may now apply for permits to use the multi-use field at 1600 Park, whose long-awaited opening is expected within the next couple weeks.

Construction on a dog run and restroom facilities at the site is ongoing and lights won't be connected for a few weeks, but the field will be available during the day beginning in early August, according to a city release.

“We are so glad to open up this new field to all the teams, leagues and other members of the community looking for a place to practice or play a match,” Mayor Dawn Zimmer said in a statement. “The field will also be open to all members of the public for a pickup game or practice whenever it is not reserved.” 

To apply for field space, download a permit request form and email it to recreation@hobokennj.org or call the Recreation Division at (201)-420-2012.
