BAKER ATHLETICS COMPLEX AND THE COMMUNITY
The Baker Athletics Complex is the athletics and recreational facility for Columbia's outdoor varsity sports and recreational programs. Baker is utilized by 14 intercollegiate teams (seven women's teams and seven men's teams) and is the venue for practice and intercollegiate competitions for nine varsity sports. The site contains Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium (football and women's lacrosse), Chrystie Field House, The Remmer Boathouse and other rowing facilities, Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium, Columbia Softball Stadium, Robertson Field at Satow Stadium (baseball), the Columbia Field Hockey Venue, The Philip & Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center, and the Campbell Sports Center.
Columbia has been a proud part of Inwood since 1921 and looks forward to continuing a close working relationship with the community. We hope this page will help keep our neighbors informed about the events taking place at the complex and benefits the community can take advantage of.

Muscota Marsh
Major construction of Muscota Marsh (previously referred to as "Boathouse Marsh") is complete. The extensive wetland restoration, which reintroduces salt marsh and freshwater zones containing a diverse palette of native plants, has been honored with a design award from New York City's Public Design Commission. We continue to work closely and cooperatively with the Department of Parks and Recreation on the opening of the park and we look forward to the community's use of the new public amenities on the waterfront.

The scholarships will be apportioned as follows (i) 14 for Baker Field Cubs Camp (7 for each weekly session), (ii) 12 for Soccer Camp (2 for each weekly session) and (iii) 6 for Baseball Camp (2 for each weekly session). Columbia will notify local community and school groups about these scholarships as well as CB12, representatives of local elected officials and other community organizations to make the community aware of these scholarships, but the organization or an appropriate local organization will be responsible for identifying and selecting appropriate candidates to fill available slots.
