Turf Replacement Moving Ahead at Marcal Field

Construction continues on the Mifflin County School District’s Husky Multi-Sports Facilities Project, with the recent installation of artificial turf at Marcal Paper Field, located near the former Highland Park Elementary School. The $18.5 million project must meet a December deadline to secure $3 million in state grant funding for two field houses—one at Kish Bank Field and another at Marcal Paper Field. The turf’s benefits include a safer playing surface and reduced weather-related scheduling issues. The district is also selling personalized bricks to support the project, with prices lowered to $200 through the end of the month.
