Spring Lake Park High School's athletic field and track
project has been completed.  It solves a long-time drainage problem, replaces an unsafe track, and includes a synthetic turf field which will dramatically increase use by all members of the student body. This project was part of the district's long-range Facilities Improvement Plan, but not a part of the bond referendum.
