It is now being used extensively. All this activity has brought many spectators to the facility who enjoy watching the many activities on the track and field. Unfortunately, the existing 70-year-old concrete bleachers are unsightly, unsafe, and need to be refurbished. District staff have recommended a cost-effective solution that would see new aluminum bench seating installed over the existing concrete.

New Aluminum Bench Seating:
Installation of sleek, weather-resistant aluminum bench seats with back support, accommodating up to 1,600 spectators.

Structural Enhancements:
Adding aluminum ‘C’ channels and leveling nuts onto threaded ready-rods embedded in the concrete to ensure the existing concrete is level, safe, and the bleachers remain stable and secure for years to come.

The estimated cost for this project is $635,000, which will significantly enhance the viewing experience for fans and community members, providing comfort and safety. The addition of back support will also make longer viewing periods more enjoyable, especially for seniors and families.

With your help, we can ensure that every visitor—whether cheering on a loved one, watching a school competition, or attending a community event—has a comfortable and safe experience at the Place for Sport. By supporting this campaign, you’re not just providing a seat; you’re giving the community a space where memories are made—cheering for friends, family, and local athletes in comfort.

Please consider donating to this fund to help ensure that parents, residents, visitors and competitors can watch the action in safety and comfort.
