The Ripken Foundation and McWane Ductile have just broken ground on the new Youth Development Park in Phillipsburg, NJ. This new state-of-the-art synthetic turf field will accommodate football, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey teams year-round, as well as many other regional tournaments and community events. This full-size synthetic turf field will provide a safe environment that fosters social, educational, and recreational interactions between at-risk youth and caring adult mentors, and will also be a clean, supportive space for other adults, youth, and children in and around Phillipsburg.
