HUNTSVILLE — After nearly 100 years, a Huntsville sports landmark is getting a facelift.

In the city’s Five Points community, Goldsmith-Schiffman Field opened in 1934 as a high school football stadium. Behind its iconic stone wall, the field also hosted high school soccer, middle school football and, now, flag football.

So, it’s time for a reno.

“Goldsmith-Schiffman Field holds a special place in the annals of Huntsville sports history,” Parks & Recreation Director James Gossett said. “We’re looking forward to this assessment of the facility and the opportunity to carve a path to the park’s future.”

The City Council approved a design services contract with Foresite Group at Thursday’s City Council meeting. The Atlanta-based firm will be responsible for civil engineering and landscape architecture on the park.

The plan for the project includes pickleball courts, a grass lawn with space for two flag football fields, a new concession/restroom building and a playground, the city.

The work by Foresite will help determine how best to utilize the facility. Much of the stone wall is expected to remain in place, though it must undergo a structural engineering evaluation.
