Freedom Area School District To Install Artificial Turf, Replace Stadium Track

The Freedom Area School District is about to spend $1.4 million to install artificial turf and replace the track at Bulldog Stadium. According to the Beaver County Times, that work will start at the stadium in early May, and the project will be ongoing until early August. The stadium will remain closed during that time, which means graduation ceremonies will take place in the high school auditorium instead. Superintendent Jeff Fuller says the upgrades and renovations won’t just benefit student athletes. Students in kindergarten to grade 12 use the field during the school year, and plenty of community members use the track during the day for walking or other exercise.
