The new North Delta Track and Field Facility at North Delta Secondary School replaced a decades-old cinder surface that flooded with every hard rain and offered an uneven, unreliable place to train. What opened on August 14, 2021, was a World Athletics-compliant eight-lane synthetic track, full field-event areas, a natural grass infield, tennis and pickleball courts, a perimeter walking path, and proper spectator seating, marking the first facility of its kind in Delta. With local runners, coaches, and families highlighting the problems of the existing location, this project ended up coming to fruition based solely on the fact that the community kept pushing. It took some time, but the City of Delta, the Delta School District, the Province of British Columbia, and the Government of Canada ultimately partnered on the roughly $8 million project, with more than $5.8 million coming through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The result was a venue built for both high-school championships and everyday use by walkers, seniors, and families. We were proud to be part of that effort, partnering with GPM Civil Contracting Inc., who installed the [bleachers](https://www.sportsystemscanada.com/bleachers/) back in 2021. The structure was designed to seat 273 spectators and included barrier-free seating so people with mobility needs could watch from the same stands as everyone else and beautifully powder-coated backrests. ![powder-coated-backrests](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/powder-coated-backrests.jpg?width=1200&height=900&name=powder-coated-backrests.jpg) On opening day the community turned out in force—bagpipes, speeches from dignitaries representing every level of government, cake, hot dogs, and casual pickleball on the new courts. A commemorative plaque was unveiled as local Olympians stood alongside students and neighbours who had waited years for a proper place to train and gather. Five years later the facility is still doing exactly what it was built to do. It hosts high-school championships, BCSS multi-events meets, the Delta Open, and community runs such as the annual Run for Delta. Covered spectator seating was added in 2023, and a two-storey fieldhouse built from shipping containers remains in the final planned phase. When we visited the site in August 2026, the bleachers were in excellent condition after years of heavy use, a true testament to the work our partners at GPM Civil completed all those years ago. [![wheelchair-accessible-area-delta-bleacher](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wheelchair-accessible-area-delta-bleacher.jpg?width=1200&height=744&name=wheelchair-accessible-area-delta-bleacher.jpg)](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hubfs/wheelchair-accessible-area-delta-bleacher-full.jpg) North Delta wanted a place where athletes could train properly and where the wider community could simply show up and move. The track, the courts, the walking path, and the seating all serve that goal. We are proud that the bleachers we supplied continue to give people a solid place to sit and watch the next generation of runners, throwers, and jumpers, along with all the families who come out to cheer them on.   [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fnew-bleacher-seating-for-a-bc-community-that-refused-to-settle-for-less%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fnew-bleacher-seating-for-a-bc-community-that-refused-to-settle-for-less%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fnew-bleacher-seating-for-a-bc-community-that-refused-to-settle-for-less%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fnew-bleacher-seating-for-a-bc-community-that-refused-to-settle-for-less%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=New%20Bleacher%20Seating%20for%20a%20BC%20Community%20That%20Refused%20to%20Settle%20for%20Less) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fnew-bleacher-seating-for-a-bc-community-that-refused-to-settle-for-less%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fnew-bleacher-seating-for-a-bc-community-that-refused-to-settle-for-less%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Search for Specific Products or Projects This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty.
