Christian Sports Complex in Weequahic Park, just off Elizabeth Avenue in Newark, was scheduled for Wednesday, July 20, at noon. The facility, featuring a new sports track and football field similar to the Blue Knights Sports Complex behind Irvington High School, is named after Christian, the former pastor of Christian Love Baptist Church on Lyons Avenue in Irvington, who died unexpectedly last year.
