Township parks will have upgraded sports courts by mid-summer thanks to Edison.

The township of Edison is planning to repair and upgrade sports courts at nine parks by the middle of summer. Bids for the work, which includes repairing cracks and resurfacing the courts, are currently being sought. The bids are due by April 30, and the township council will review them before awarding the contract. Once the contract is awarded, the work is expected to be completed within 90 days.

The sports courts that will be restored as part of this project are located at Bernard L. Dwyer Park, Minnie B. Veal/Elder Park, Hale Park, Yelencsics Park, Winter Street Park, Central Avenue Park, Paterniti Park, Thomas Swales Park, and North Eighth Avenue tennis courts. The work will involve clearing and grading, removal of existing features like trees and stumps, pavement removal, crack repairs, installation of new asphalt base and surface courses, as well as pickleball and tennis posts, basketball posts and goals, color surfacing system, line striping, and more.
