The city's Department of Parks and Recreation has registered a $4 million contract with William A. Gross Construction Associates Inc. to reconstruct Baseball Field 15 and Soccer Field 16 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, according to NYC Comptroller's Checkbook NYC.
The contract, PIN 84626B0079001, was awarded through competitive sealed bidding and runs from November 16, 2026 to November 15, 2027 — a one-year window to complete both fields. Checkbook NYC does not list an M/WBE designation for the award.
Flushing Meadows is one of the busiest multi-sport park complexes in the city, and its ballfields see heavy seasonal use from youth and adult leagues across Queens. A full reconstruction of two fields in a single contract — rather than two separate lettings — points to Parks bundling adjacent sitework to get economies of scale out of one mobilization.
William A. Gross has worked city park and sitework contracts before; $4 million for two full field rebuilds works out to a mid-size sitework job, the kind that typically includes grading, drainage, irrigation, turf or synthetic surfacing, and fencing.
What to do next
Sitework, drainage, and sports-surfacing subs should treat this as a live lead — Gross has a year to deliver two fields, and that work gets let out in pieces. If you're tracking Parks' capital spending in Queens, this follows the pattern from last week's seawall postings: the agency is running multiple active lettings in the borough at once. Keep an eye on Checkbook NYC and the Parks capital tracker for the next Flushing Meadows or Queens park registration — this complex tends to generate repeat work.
