City of Delta celebrates opening of new Delta Secondary School track​ 

The City of Delta, in partnership with the Delta School District and Province of British Columbia, celebrated the grand opening of the new track and infield at Delta Secondary School.

​​Alongside students from Delta Secondary and elementary schools around Ladner, Delta Council was joined by Surrey-City Centre MLA Amna Shah, Delta South MLA Ian Paton, as well as Delta School Trustees and representatives from Tsawwassen First Nation, to officially open the upgraded track and field facility. In the spirit of “hitting the ground running,” students participated in a baton relay on the newly installed surface to display the track in full use and symbolize the handing down of the new track to future generations.   

​​​The opening marks the completion of a year-long construction process, the final phase of which included the installation of the new synthetic surface of the track. Throughout the installation period, the newly laid sod infield was given an opportunity to fully establish, ensuring its endurance for usage year-round. Along with the new grass infield, sized for soccer and rugby, and six-lane synthetic surface running track the facility also features: 

• ​​New combination rugby and soccer goals 

• ​​Two long jump runways and pits, configured to facilitate para-athletes  

• ​​New irrigation and drainage system  

• ​​Track perimeter lighting  

• ​​Hard surface pedestrian connection to Memorial Park from 45 Avenue
