GLEN HEAD, NY — The Town of Oyster Bay on Tuesday announced plans to significantly improve athletic fields at Gaynor Park in Glen Head. "Gaynor Park serves as home to so many of our young athletes, and that's why the Town Board and I are making these field upgrades a top priority," said Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. "Upgrades will improve field conditions and safety for the players while providing a cost-effective opportunity for more gameplay in Glen Head and less long-term maintenance costs for taxpayers." Officials say they will install new synthetic fields at the southernmost full-size field, complete with a new underdrain system. To accommodate as many players as possible, the southernmost field will be striped for regulation and youth-size soccer. It will also be stripped for lacrosse games. The east baseball field will also get an upgrade. Improvements include the installation of a synthetic field and a new underdrain system. The field will be striped to accommodate games for multiple age groups (both 60-foot and 75-foot base lines), according to officials. Construction at Gaynor Park is anticipated to commence later this year.
