PLEASANTON, CA — Pleasanton leaders broke ground Tuesday for a new $11 million sports field and track project at Hart Middle School, which is anticipated to be completed in the fall.

The new field, funded by a bond measure approved by Pleasanton residents in 2024, will feature a number of athletic amenities, including:

  • A new synthetic turf athletic field
  • A 400-meter all-weather running track
  • New natural grass fields supporting football, soccer, lacrosse, cricket, and PE
  • Field event areas for long jump, triple jump, and high jump
  • The Hart Middle School logo integrated into the field design
  • Improved walkways, gates, and site circulation,
  • Shade trees and low-maintenance landscaping

“This is a truly transformative project for Hart Middle School,” Principal Caroline Fields said in a statement. “It will give our Huskies a field that supports athletics, physical education, and school events year-round — creating a space that reflects the perseverance and teamwork that define our school community.”
