Weequahic Park Gets Major Baseball Field Upgrade | Newark News

Essex County just unveiled a $1.72 million makeover of Weequahic Park’s baseball field — complete with synthetic infield, fresh sod, new fences, dugouts, and upgraded drainage — all finished in just six months. Designed by French and Parrello and built by Zenith Construction, the project was funded by the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund. Local leaders and sports advocates are thrilled, with the high school athletic director already eager to get teams on the field. Plans are already underway for a second synthetic field and a new maintenance garage — proving this is just the beginning of a major investment in community sports infrastructure.
