Galloway Athletics is thrilled to announce a new partnership with our park neighbor, Northside Youth Organization, as they embark on a historic capital campaign. Galloway and NYO have a longstanding tradition of sharing athletic facilities, and we are excited to continue this partnership.
Beginning in May 2023, NYO will renovate the existing field at Blackwell Stadium to include artificial turf, ample seating, newly installed lights, and upgraded locker rooms. This field will now serve as Galloway’s home field for ML and UL boys and girls soccer matches. This field will also function as a practice area for several Galloway teams and will be available for use on field days and additional school activities.
“For years, Galloway and NYO have partnered to offer the best possible experience for our student-athletes,” said NYO Executive Director Josh Burr. “I am thrilled to see this partnership take another step forward as we upgrade, enhance, and expand upon what we can offer our community.”
NYO is also in the process of renovating their existing gym that Galloway currently uses for basketball and volleyball, making several upgrades to baseball and softball facilities used by Middle Learning teams, and constructing a new gym.
"Galloway has continued to strive for opportunities to enhance our athletic program, and this is a huge step in the right direction,” said Upper Learning Andrew Tulowitzky. “Having a field we can call home and access to other high-quality facilities in such close proximity only adds to the Galloway student-athlete experience. We look forward to continuing this decades-long partnership with a trusted park neighbor.”
