SPORTS PROJECTS

Sports Fields

Sports facilities have always been found on the Sand Point peninsula. The Sports Fields (located to the southwest of the children's playground) were used during the Navy era - a period of some 50 years. Sailors did calisthenics, marched, and even played baseball and football. Starting in the late 1950s, a football field was even lighted during the fall season.
