West Milford highlights new playground, proposed turf field and small stadium grant
Summary
The district said Upper Greenwood Lake School opened a new playground funded by PTA and donations; leaders described collaborative plans for a township‑funded turf field at Diageos Field on school property and announced a $5,000 T‑Mobile grant toward stadium improvements.
District leaders used the broadcast to summarize recent facilities work and near‑term projects. Upper Greenwood Lake (UGL) School has a newly installed playground completed after two days of construction and PTA fundraising plus community donations; Principal Jay Aloy said the playground should be finished with a ribbon cutting at the start of school.
Assistant Superintendent Dan Novak and Superintendent Dr. Brian Kitchen described ongoing collaboration with the township and field‑turf representatives to design a turf field at Diageos Field. Novak said the township will fund the project because the turf will sit on school property; the township will provide funds to the district to pay for the work. District officials emphasized the facility will serve both students and the broader community. No construction timeline or contract award details were announced on the broadcast.
Athletic Director Joe Trentacosta also reported that the district’s T‑Mobile partnership produced another early sweepstakes win, resulting in a $5,000 award to support stadium or field improvements at Morton McCormick/Diageos Field. Trentacosta said the district plans continued participation in the sweepstakes for larger prizes.
Facilities Director Doug Glenn and custodial teams were credited for summer painting and building maintenance projects that refreshed interiors and exterior signage across district buildings.
