Community Involvement


Giving Back to the Community

The AASD has made a firm commitment to revitalization and development.

The school district regularly uses its modern facilities to attract major events which boost local hotel, restaurant and shopping revenues significantly.

Mansion Park Stadium (shown at left) features an Astroturf playing surface and a new running track. It is the site of PIAA district and interdistrict football, soccer and track championships.

The stadium is the site of the Pennsylvania Football Coaches Association East West High school All-Star Game in June and the home of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

Residents of the community use Mansion Park and the track on the Altoona Area High School campus for walking and jogging daily. An AstroPlay surface was installed on the AAHS intramural field in 2002.
