Up for immediate construction are two softball fields, three youth soccer fields, an adult soccer field for high school and tournament play, as well as a centralized concession and coordination building.
Future additions would include another two softball fields, four volleyball courts, a youth football field, three basketball courts, and trail links with the Lelah Bradley reservoir park.
Both youth and adult league sports may be hosted at the complex.
