About Sandhill Fields
Sandhill Fields was created from the vision of Sussex County residents who shared a common goal: to establish a premier athletic venue that serves the community as a hub for sports, recreation, and togetherness. The complex is also designed to host competitive tournaments. This privately-owned, public-access facility is open 7 days a week from dawn to dusk (weather permitting), welcoming everyone to enjoy its open spaces, state-of-the-art fields, and scenic walking trail.
