Foley before it was Foley/Memorial Park

By 1922, Coach William Foley convinced the Bloomfield Board of Education to purchase a tract of land to build a new field just south of James Street between the defunct Morris Canal (now JFK Blvd) and the winding Third River. The $14,000 purchase price also included Oakes Mill Pond, which is now Memorial Park.
