At Garfield High School in East L.A., a new synthetic football field and surrounding track will soon be available to students and athletes alike. A new digital scoreboard will help fans tally up the touchdowns alongside new landscaping and ADA accessibility upgrades.
The field at Garfield will also be upgraded with a new booster pump for its irrigation system, intended to help keep the field cool. New bleachers are also coming to the visiting team side of the field.
According to a Los Angeles Unified School District spokesperson, the field refurbishments are funded primarily by Measure RR, a school bond measure approved by voters in 2020, to upgrade and reconfigure Los Angeles public schools to better support learning, athletics, wellness and health.
The Bulldogs will host South El Monte High School in a scrimmage on thursday August 14th. JV 4pm Varsity 6pm
