Important Notice: Lincroft Acres Soccer Field Closed Due to Vandalism
|
|
|
|
|

Due to recent vandalism at Lincroft Acres, one of the soccer fields has been seriously damaged by individuals who were driving across the grounds. This is the only lighted grass soccer field in this part of the township. As a result of this unwarranted act, all soccer and football practices on this field are canceled until repairs can be made as the safety and condition of our fields is paramount. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time. Middletown Recreation will reach out to soccer and football leagues regarding when the field will be ready for play and updates will be posted on social media. If you have any information about who may have intentionally destroyed this soccer field, you can report it confidentially to the Middletown Township Police Department by calling 732-615-2100. Together we can protect our community spaces! |
