New Fields and Cross Country Trails

Our four new fields are in addition to Pickert Field, Benedict Avenue Field and the soccer, baseball and softball fields at King Fields (aka the Lower Field). We’ve more than doubled Hackley’s fields space. Additionally, we’ve redesigned the Dave Allison Cross Country Trails, creating a new competition level trail system. With these new fields and trails, built on the 172 acres purchased from the Laurance S. Rockefeller Fund in 1998, Hackley’s 285 acre campus is one of the premiere athletic facilities in the region. That means more practice time for all our student athletes – middle and upper school, boys and girls, junior varsity and varsity. (Click headline to see details.)
