Academy Athletic Field | April 9, 2026

The City of Westminster, CO held a community meeting on April 9, 2026, to discuss the proposed development of athletic facilities at the Academy, including converting the existing grass field to artificial turf, adding bleachers, a press box with lighting and sound, new scoreboard, restrooms, concessions, and fencing. The meeting focused on addressing community concerns related to traffic, parking, noise, lighting, and neighborhood impact. City planners and school representatives emphasized efforts to minimize disruptions through design choices such as directional lighting and sound control, as well as scheduling games at considerate times. The project is part of a long-planned development and will require final approval from the city planning commission, anticipated in May 2026. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussion highlighted the importance of ongoing community engagement and coordination with city departments for traffic and safety management during events.
