‘Kick Off’ For New Bound Brook Sports Field Coming Next Week

BOUND BROOK, NJ — Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset is set to unveil its community field at Tea Street Sports Complex later this month.

The community “kick off” celebration will take place on Wednesday, March 29 at 3:30 p.m., according to a news release from the hospital. The field is located in the Tea Street Sports Complex.

Refreshments will be available.

The field was created with the help of a $50,000 T-Mobile Hometown Grant received last year by the hospital system. Grant funding is also slated to go towards sports performance, wellness and nutrition resources to further provide accessible and affordable sports programs for the Bound Brook community.

“This soccer field will help children in both communities learn the benefits of teamwork, competition, and physical activity, helping them lead healthier lives,” Patrick Delaney, Chief Administrative Officer, RWJUH Somerset, said in a statement last year. “In addition, we will provide off the field education in nutrition, wellness and sports performance with our partner, Players Development Academy (PDA), and the local recreation departments.”
