White Stadium
The City is transforming White Stadium into a state-of-the-art athletic facility for Boston Public Schools (BPS) Athletics and a vibrant community hub for Franklin Park.
Project Status: PLANNING
The goal of renovating White Stadium is to establish it as a premier venue for the Boston Public Schools (BPS) Athletics Program and a vibrant community hub serving Franklin Park and surrounding communities. The rehabilitation project will expand public access from 9 weekday hours to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. Originally constructed in 1949, White Stadium has been a vital space for Boston athletes and the community, but it now requires significant upgrades. It currently lacks the necessary facilities and amenities to serve as a comprehensive citywide resource and the true center for BPS Athletics. Through a strategic private partnership, this generational investment in White Stadium is designed to enhance its role within Franklin Park, ensuring greater public access, expanded community programming, and enriched athletic opportunities, all while respecting the historic legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted's design.
