(New Brighton, Pa) A ballfield in New Brighton is closed due to health concerns.

The Borough of New Brighton released a statement saying the Hunky Alley Baseball Field along Bank Street is temporarily closed due to the “presence of excessive animal feces creating unsanitary conditions”.

They say the closure will “ensure the health and safety” of sports organizations using the field this spring.

The Borough states “the current level of animal waste on the field poses an unacceptable health risk” and plans are underway to install cameras to “deter and monitor animal activity.”

The cameras are expected to be installed next week and they say the field will reopen once the work is complete.
