Yes, it's
true-we have begun the renovation of the track and
field.
Northgate High School Sports Complex Update:
The heavy early winter rains continue to cause delays for the
Sports Complex. In spite of a reasonable dry spring, there is still too
much moisture trapped under the rock on the field site. The final grading
on the field can not be done until this moisture content is reduced. For
this to happen, we need more warm dry days. The moisture content is
checked every week and we continue to closely monitor the field condition so we
can complete this project as quickly as possible.
Once construction on the field begins again, grading should take
about a week to complete. Naturally this assumes no
underlying
problems. Our turf company, Sportexe, has been very cooperative,
continually changing their schedule so they can come in as soon as the final
grading is completed. The installation of the turf will take about one
month to complete, again depending on weather conditions. After the turf
installation is complete, the track company, California Track will begin installing
the track surface. This process will also take about a month to complete.
The Foundation is grateful to our community for their patience as
we do everything in our power to make sure the project we build is the best it
can be. We appreciate the generosity and trust of our community and
in keeping with that trust, we will not substitute expediency for
excellence.
Don’t
miss your chance to be a part of this very
important effort---give generously now.
