Alumni Field
A $1.8 million fundraising campaign completed in August 2006 enabled Willison Field’s worn playing surface to be replaced by an international regulation soccer and recreational field with state-of-the-art turf, surrounded by attractive landscaping. The field has been renamed Alumni Field, in recognition of the significant support the Wilfrid Laurier University Alumni Association gave this project. |
