Overview

Before Clark was a freeport, this field was the parade ground of Fort Stotsenburg, the US Cavalry post that later became Clark Air Base. Soldiers also used it for concerts and polo, and the old Fort Stotsenburg gateposts still mark the side entrances.

The Clark Development Corporation renovated the grounds in 2015, adding a 2.2 km rubberized jogging path, new lights and football facilities. Today it is where Clark comes to jog and cycle, and the venue for many fun runs and races through the year.
