Fair Haven is working on a $180,000 plan for McCarter Park upgrades that could include a walking trail, a relocated and improved ball field and more parking.
At Monday night’s bimonthly council meeting, borough Engineer Richard Gardella said the park lacks an identity and suggested that a walking trail like the one at Fair Haven Field would help create some type of circulation through the five-acre facility.
The walking trail could be equipped with benches and simple fitness stations along the route, Gardella said.
