After the major league pitcher from Berkeley Township, Al Leiter, the field was given the name "Leiter Baseball Park." The local government wished to recognize his family for their commitment to the town's youngsters at the time.
The facility was renovated thanks to a kind donation that included the construction of new dugouts, walkways, a two-story booth with an equipment area, bleachers, seats, and fencing.
Keith Fisher, the grounds supervisor, thanked Al Leiter personally, the administration, the board of educators, and superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides for their assistance.
He remarked, "The administration and the board deserve praise for the leadership role they have taken in New Jersey and the country to offer great and safe sports fields for the student athletes of Central Regional and the student athletes from visiting schools.
Leiter received his degree from Central in 1984 and later played pitcher for the Yankees and Mets. He played for the Toronto Blue Jays (1993) and Florida Marlins World Series-winning teams (1997).
