Des Moines Public Schools - East High School Practice Field

Enhanced Athletic Facility for East High School

The East High School practice field provided an updated athletic facility for Des Moines Public Schools. This new practice field will be utilized for soccer and football as well as various school activities. It was designed to be functional, durable and ready for future enhancements, ensuring it serves the school for many years to come.

The high-quality synthetic turf provides a durable playing surface. Designed to withstand heavy use and various weather conditions, the field can be used by East High year-round. The field was also designed for future improvements, such as field lighting and scoreboards. Foundations for light poles were strategically positioned around the outside of the field and electrical conduits were pre-placed. The project includes new event slabs for shot put, discus, and hammer throwing, a sand pit, and chain link fence enclosure. The inclusion of a storm water retention basin was included to aid in the longevity of the field. This comprehensive approach ensures the new practice field is durable, safe, and ready for future enhancements.
