Austin Public Schools is scheduled to begin renovations to the Larry Gilbertson Track, located within the Wescott Sports Complex, on or around June 22, with project completion anticipated by October 2, weather and construction conditions permitting.
This project will include the removal of the existing track surface, repairs to the underlying infrastructure, and installation of a new competition surface designed to serve students, athletes, and the community for years to come.
While no work is being completed on the synthetic turf field itself, access to the field will be affected at times due to construction activities on the surrounding track. The project team plans to maintain access to the turf field throughout most of the project by providing phased entry points based on where crews are actively working.
At this time, the turf field is anticipated to be completely inaccessible during the following periods:
• July 6–17
• September 14–18
These dates are subject to change based on weather and construction progress. Any schedule adjustments will be communicated as soon as possible.
We recognize this project may temporarily affect individuals and groups who regularly use the facility. These improvements represent a significant investment in Austin Public Schools and the broader community, and we appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation while the work is completed.
Project updates will be shared as construction progresses.
