Originally built in 1949, White Stadium has long been home to Boston student-athletes and community events, but for decades it has lacked the basic infrastructure our students deserve. The facility had no indoor training spaces, no running water, no heat, and poor field drainage, limiting its usage. Now, through a once-in-a-generation public-private partnership with Boston Legacy Football Club (BLFC), White Stadium is being renovated as a modern, fully accessible athletic complex, owned by Boston Public Schools and available as a public asset in every season. The renovation will:

Expand public access from 9 hours, 5-days a week to 15 hours daily, 7 days a week
Add new indoor and outdoor athletic facilities, classrooms, and restrooms
Support year-round youth sports and community events

This project honors the historic legacy of Franklin Park while creating new opportunities for Boston residents and students.
