Daily Point A field grows in Elmont The Town of Hempstead is committing about $900,000 of its capital budget to a new turf field at Elmont Road Park — a park that was renovated just over a year ago. The park's previous $3 million face-lift was part of the community benefits associated with construction of UBS Arena at Belmont Park. Developer New York Arena Partners completed the renovation in spring 2022, but Hempstead Town officials initially refused to open the park, citing what they described as safety concerns.
