Projects: Athletic Complexes
RIDGEWOOD AVENUE ATHLETIC FIELDS
Oradell, NJ
Let It Grow was awarded the contract by the Borough of Oradell, NJ and Boswell Engineering to build The Ridgewood Athletic Fields, a multi-use recreational facility on Ridgewood Avenue in Oradell.
It included 140,000 square feet of synthetic turf athletic fields. Incorporated in the field of play were two baseball diamonds, a football field, and a soccer field. The fields were designed so two baseball games could be conducted simultaneously or a football game and soccer game could be played at the same time. This recreational complex also included the installation of a field house/concession stand with restrooms and a field lighting system.
The scope of work for Let It Grow included clearing and excavating the site. A drainage system was installed as well as a perimeter drain in concrete. We built asphalt and concrete sidewalks and walkways.
In addition, Let It Grow put in all the chain link and wooden fencing & guard rails, and gates.
We installed concrete turf footings, installed a new athletic synthetic turf, portable bleachers, erected the scoreboard, and put in all the sports and field lighting, including light poles, all electrical conduits & wiring. We brought in all site furniture such as benches, picnic tables, trash receptacles, and a flagpole. Finally, we top soiled, seeded, fertilized, put down straw mulch, and installed trees, plantings and sod.
This project was completed within budget and deadline and to much anticipation of the local community.
At more than $200 million, this is the most expensive soccer stadium ever built. It sits alongside the Passaic River with a view of the Newark, New Jersey skyline to the west, and New York City and Jersey City further off in a distance to the east.
