The Borough of Stone has submitted an application to the Cape May County Planning Department Open Space Program for recreation development. The Borough is requesting various upgrades to the existing 82nd Street Recreation Park. The Park currently consists of baseball/softball field, a basketball court, skate park, bocce ball court, soccer/multi-purpose field, youth playground, eleven all-weather tennis courts and a recreation office. The Borough is proposing to construct a new building for restroom facilities, replace and upgrade the existing playground with new equipment and safety surfacing, convert four of the existing tennis court into clay courts, reconstruct the seven other tennis courts which includes adding lines to two courts for pickle ball. Five Courts will include blended 10-and-under junior tennis lines which serves the purpose of introducing tennis to our younger children as well as our weekly camp participants. In addition the application includes the construction of a tennis office and observation deck on top which will be located between two of the courts, replacement of the chain link fencing around tennis courts and install new wind screens.
