Penn State Abington and its community partner the Abington School District rededicated the upgraded and renovated Memorial Field last week, officially opening the athletic facility for shared use by the members of the college, school district, and community.
Penn State Abington's NCAA Division III membership increased its competitiveness in the Philadelphia market leading it to initiate the $5 million-plus investment with no cost to the school district or local taxpayers. Memorial Field now boasts a multipurpose artificial turf field with a track, field house, tennis courts, repositioned and improved softball field and storage building, practice field, new seating, and expanded parking facilities.
