We're making great progress at Briggs Field this summer, with several exciting upgrades nearing completion!

Concessions Building Enhancements

The addition of new toilet rooms at the Concessions Building is nearly complete. These much-needed facilities will enhance the overall experience for visitors and provide added convenience during events.

New Track Surface

A brand-new track surface has been installed and looks fantastic! Next up: lane striping will begin shortly, bringing us one step closer to a fully refreshed running surface for our athletes and community.
