Atlantic City Breaks Ground on $1.33M Dolphin Field Improvement Project
Posted June 08, 2026Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, Sr. was joined by city officials, project contractors, and representatives from the Atlantic City Dolphins youth organization to officially break ground on a $1.33 million renovation project at Dolphin Field. Funded through New Jersey's Green Acres Program, the project will transform the popular sports facility with a series of significant upgrades. Improvements will include the installation of new gray artificial turf, concession stand and locker room renovations, new fencing, upgraded lighting, new goal posts, new storage sheds, landscaping enhancements, and ADA accessibility improvements, including new sidewalks.
Dolphin Field has long served as the home of the Atlantic City Dolphins, a respected community organization that has positively impacted countless young athletes over the years. The facility's current artificial playing surface was installed in 2010 and, after years of heavy use, is due for replacement.
City officials are targeting completion of the project in time for the upcoming fall football season.
