Just last year it was functional, yet decorative, foul weather gear protecting the turf at the nation’s oldest professional baseball park.

Now it awaits repurposing, just like the former Navy hangar in which it was rolled out.

Crews from New England Tent and Awning recently unrolled the L.L. Bean 100th Anniversary tarpaulin in Hangar 5 at Brunswick Landing, the only local building big enough to hold it. It was commissioned last year by the iconic Freeport retailer L.L. Bean.

However, now that Boston’s “lyric little bandbox” is 101 years old, the impressive — but obsolete — field cover will be recycled into a range of asyet undetermined products.

A similar tarp celebrating Fenway Park was recycled into 2,012 canvas Boat-and- Tote bags last year. They sold out in six minutes.

“We haven’t decided specifically that we’ll be making totes out of this tarp,” said L.L. Bean spokesman Mac McKeever. “In fact, we don’t know exactly what we’ll be doing with it, but don’t be surprised if we engage customers in the process. We are going to have a great time with this tarp, I assure you.”

Crews from the tent shop, which was one of the first businesses to relocate to Brunswick Landing after the U.S. Navy departed, lent a hand arranging the huge fabric cover for cutting and storing.
