George L. King Field
The Wallingford Swarthmore School District has approved the installation of an all-weather playing surface on George King Field located behind the Strath Haven Middle School.
Last year’s private fundraising efforts to fund the installation fell short, but the District announced in early February that $500,000 had been identified as available for the project. The money was left over from completed renovations of the high school and middle school. These funds had been earmarked for field improvements, but never utilized.
The School Board went on record saying they were willing to allocate the funds for the project with the provision that the fundraising group – Team Up For Turf – commit to raising the remaining $200,000 necessary to complete the project by June 30, 2012.
Funds remaining from the Wallingford Elementary School renovation and expansion would be utilized to regrade and sod the softball and football practice fields. The cost of this work will be capped at $200,000.
