The field is turf along with a new asphalt based rubberized track.
The complex also has an outdoor pool with a 24-foot waterfall and a rubberized running track and a golf driving range, both in a one-acre private park.

In 2001, a new football stadium with a surrounding rubberized track was constructed.
A rubberized track has also been added.
