Comstock Township - Parks and Recreation - May 11, 2026 Meeting
Comstock Parks and Recreation members deliberated on the future of the old football field property. The property, acquired by the township in the early 2000s, has become overgrown and is frequently misused by homeless individuals and those engaging in drug-related activities. During the meeting, Comstock’s Ordinance Enforcement Officer described the ongoing issues with managing the area, including repeated clean-ups and safety concerns. The board once conceptualized clearing the area for an archery range, but persistent problems and potential liabilities have put that idea aside. Other parks were also discussed, including the pickleball courts and the possibility of using the Winky softball complex for archery. The board concluded that further consideration is needed, and no immediate action will be taken to develop the old football field property.
