Ed Jacoby Track at Dona Larsen Park
In the fall of 2012, the Boise State track and field and cross country programs moved into their newly-constructed home, Ed Jacoby Track at Dona Larsen Park. The land that houses the facility has a long and storied history with athletics in the city and at Boise State.
The site of Dona Larsen Park was originally an athletic field named Cody Park, built in 1911. The Boise School District purchased the land, located off of Broadway Avenue between Front Street and Warm Springs Avenue, in November 1924 and renamed it Public School Field. Youth and adults alike would use the field for many noteworthy athletic and community events until 1953 when East Junior High School was constructed on the site.
When Boise Junior College began competing in athletics in 1932, it used Public School Field for its football games and track and field events. In the fall of 1940, the Broncos moved to College Field on the current Boise State campus.
