Fort Hamilton H.S. Athletic Field reopens Aug. 5
The Fort Hamilton High School Athletic Field, which functions as both a school facility and as a public park, will reopen on Monday, Aug. 5, after undergoing a $4.7 million facelift.
The date for the reopening was announced by Councilmember Justin Brannan on his Facebook page.
The School Construction Authority laid down a new artificial turf on the ballfield, installed a new running track around the field and erected a new high-tech scoreboard, according to SCA spokesperson Kevin Ortiz. Shock absorbers were built into the turf, Ortiz said. The SCA also installed several water fountains around the field, repaired concrete curbs around the perimeter and installed a new drainage system.
