SOUTH AMBOY – Yesterday was a pivotal day in the ongoing renovation of the Allie Clark Athletic Complex in South Amboy when representatives of Land Tek began the installation of the new artificial turf.

“While the project will not be completed until July 1 the installation of the turf is a visual representation of just how hard we have worked over the winter to deliver this state-of-the-art athletic facility for South Amboy’s youth”, said Mayor Fred Henry.

With the generous support of the Middlesex County Board of Commissioners, who provided 1.5 million dollars in matching funds, the project will result in the complete re-construction of three of the five fields at the complex.  Future phases will include the renovation of the two remaining fields at the complex.

“During the winter months while there was a great deal of excavation on site and it was difficult to appreciate just how comprehensive this improvement would be” said Mayor Henry.  “We are very excited to cut the ribbon on this project this summer”.

The complex, which is named after NY Yankees Allie Clark, is home to the South Amboy Youth Athletic Association and is a mainstay in the City’s youth recreation program.
