Facilities

Opened in 2017, the nearly 50,000-square foot state-of-the-art facility includes the Kraft Fieldhouse with playing surfaces for volleyball, basketball and tennis; a renovated arena with seating, offices, and a multipurpose room; a fully equipped strength and conditioning center staffed by a full-time School employee; an athletic training facility staffed by two full-time athletic trainers; and numerous locker rooms for home and away teams. Parking is available on the Arena Parking Deck. 

Renovated in 2018 and equipped with lights for night games, Main Field is used by our football, soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse teams. It is also used by our Lower School and Middle School sports programs. Nearby parking is available on the Arena Parking Deck, with easy access to the Kraft Fieldhouse & Arena. In 2018, the School also opened an adjacent amphitheater, which provides natural spectator seating. 

Cornish Field is the School’s second artificial turf field used by field hockey, football, soccer, and lacrosse at the Middle School, JV, and varsity level. Parking is available in the nearby Sohier Lot. 

Farm Field includes recently upgraded baseball and softball diamonds and a natural grass surface for soccer. Parking is available in the nearby Sohier Lot.

Located within five miles of campus in Dedham, Mass., the School’s boathouse provides convenient access to the upper Charles River, where the team has exclusive access to a significant stretch of water. The boathouse features a team meeting space, six locker rooms, and a training space that features 20 ergs and a full weight room. The boat bay features storage for 10, four-person racing shells and two training eight-person boats.

The heated Lincoln Pool is 25 yards long and 15 yards wide, includes a one-meter diving board, and features a retractable roof for the summer months. Parking is available in the nearby Sohier Lot. The Lincoln Pool is home to the School’s competitive middle and upper school swim program and used for the developmental swim program for our Lower School. 

The Center will house six ASB courts, considered by US Squash as the “byword of court excellence,” and a spectator area. Dexter Southfield was previously limited in our ability to meet demand and grow our squash program because of offsite travel and decreasing access to court rentals. The Center expands capacity and competitive opportunities for our middle and upper school teams in an on-campus facility. As often as possible, we want our students engaged in the camaraderie and excitement that happens when our community assembles on campus to support athletic competition. The Center also enables students in Classes 3-5 exposure to this exciting sport as part of their lower school sports rotation. Our differentiated lower school intramural athletics program grows stronger as we increase the number of sports from nine to 10 annually.
