Ballfield Upgrades Get Makeover At Syosset-Woodbury Community Park

WOODBURY, NY — There are new baseball and softball fields at the Syosset-Woodbury Community Park for residents to enjoy.

Two natural surface baseball infields were fully converted to synthetic turf. Town of Oyster Bay officials also unveiled new scoreboards, which were donated by local baseball and softball leagues.

“These wonderful improvements enhance the overall playing experience for our little leaguers and others who use these fields,” said Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “These upgrades are being achieved in the most cost-effective way possible while bringing enjoyment to all who use them."

Artificial turf fields have a general useful life of up to 10 years, however they are less expensive than the long-term cost of maintaining natural grass and a dirt surface. Turf fields also provide the potential for fewer cancellations of games due to inclement weather.
