Memorial Field Groundbreaking

Federal Way Public Schools hosted a groundbreaking event for the new Memorial Field on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, to celebrate the start of construction on the new athletic facility. Several members of the FWPS community came together in celebration including elected officials, community leaders, district leadership, scholars, and families.

The current Memorial Field is over fifty years old and showing significant signs of deterioration. In 2017, voters approved a school construction bond enabling the district to rebuild the aging structure and eight schools. The groundbreaking event marked this milestone in the project’s progress. Construction will begin in early February, and the athletic facility is expected to be completed in time for the football and soccer season.

Throughout the design process, the architects engaged with and heard feedback from scholars, parents, and community members, in addition to district and school staff. These individuals provided valuable insight that helped create a design for an athletic facility that will best serve FWPS scholars, families, and the surrounding community for decades to come.
