TD Sports Field
Special Olympics New Jersey officially dedicated this turf athletic field TD Sports Field on December 5, 2010. The construction of the field was made possible by generous contributions by TD Bank and TD Ameritrade. It is the first field of its kind to be used exclusively for Special Olympics programs.
The regulation 5vs5 soccer field and official Special Olympics Flag Football field will host numerous Special Olympics events including tournament and league play as well as individual skills and team training. It will also be used during Camp Shriver and for the SONJ Unified Sports program where members of the community join Special Olympics athletes on sports teams.
"What is remarkable about this is field is that it will bring together the athletes of Special Olympics New Jersey and the community," said Marc Edenzon, President of Special Olympics New Jersey. "While the field will host year round programs for our athletes, the community will be invited to play on the field as members on our teams, part of an inclusive environment that will lead to an understanding of our athletes and acceptance in their community through sport."
The field is also supported by donations and in-kind contributions from ALCO Sports Construction, Inc. and many contractors that donated goods and services to construct this state of the art facility.
