Parks Dept. workers have been busy revamping a large section of the Slope’s Washington Park (formerly J.J. Byrne) that, when all’s said and done, will have a large artificial turf field. Although a lot of the turf has been laid, the field isn’t scheduled to be complete until September. As of right now, a ribbon cutting is scheduled for late August, and a ball game to inaugurate the space is planned for September 13th. The new field is part of a long-term plan to renovate much of the park.
