Ribbon-cutting Ceremony Saturday at John Gibson Track and Field Complex

The public is invited to attend the Bloomfield School District’s open house and ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the official debut of our newly renovated John Gibson Track and Field Complex at Foley Field.

The festivities will be held Saturday, March 24^th at 10 am at the south end of the field.

This historic event pays tribute to John Gibson and many others who have contributed to the Bloomfield's history and the excellence of the Bloomfield Track and Field Program. 

After the ceremony, visitors are encouraged to tour the brand new facility, which includes an all-weather track, long and triple jump areas, pole vault pits, shot put, discus and javelin areas as well as a new high jump pit.

Phase 1 of the Foley renovation was funded by a $2.9 million referendum, which also covered the cost of bleacher demolition and removal, a new drainage system and the installation of plumbing, gas and electric utilities.

Phase 2, now under way, will be funded in a large part by a $900,000 Green Acres Grant to build permanent bleachers, restrooms and a concession stand.
