School Use: City-wide elementary & secondary school events at end of May & June
Accessibility: competitions for wheelchair and blind athletes
A regulation size track with associated field amenities supports athletes of all ages and abilities to prepare for competition by providing standardized facilities. Regulation generally means the facility conforms to the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) standards, the sport governing body that regulates track and field.
