Press release from the Town of Wilton:

August 6, 2021 - 10:44am

The replacement of the track at Wilton High School Veterans Stadium has been completed and the track is now open to the public as of Friday, August 6th.  The track is open dawn to dusk and is lit until 9 pm in the evening on Mondays-Fridays from Thanksgiving through March 1st, weather permitting.

As before, the new track is available exclusively for running and walking only.  Skating/rollerblading, skateboards, scooters, bicycles, strollers, and any other wheeled objects are prohibited, as they may damage the surface.  Town-owned parking lots or the sidewalk along Route 7 can be used, as appropriate, for those activities.

The Town would like to thank Wilton Parks and Recreation Commissioner John Macken, Wilton High School Athletic Director Chris McDougal, and Parks and Recreation Director Steve Pierce who led the Track Replacement Project Committee as well as the Parks and Recreation Commission for their input and advocacy.  The Town would also like to recognize Back the Track for their role with advocacy, input and financial support of the track replacement project.

For questions about the track, please contact Steve Pierce, Director of Wilton Parks and Recreation at steve.pierce@wiltonct.org or (203) 834-6234, x 6.
