PARKS, FACILITIES AND THE CITYWIDE RIPPLE EFFECT To keep up with demand, River Region cities are investing heavily in facility upgrades:
MONTGOMERY’ S LAGOON PARK SOFTBALL COMPLEX underwent a $ 2 million renovation, converting all fields to fast-pitch-only. The upgrade helped secure a 51- team tournament that filled over 1,000 hotel rooms across the city.
MONTGOMERY’ S PATERSON FIELD, thanks to renovations in partnership with the Players Alliance, hosted the ACCC Division II State Tournament for the first time in over 30 years.
PRATTVILLE’ S STANLEY-JENSEN STADIUM recently reopened following an almost $ 20 million renovation, featuring upgraded seating, locker rooms, concessions and a new digital scoreboard. The stadium strengthens the city’ s capacity to host large-scale events.
WETUMPKA SPORTS COMPLEX is converting its fields to full turf surfaces to boost usability and appeal with 30 percent of its current budget dedicated to the operation and maintenance of youth sports facilities.
PIKE ROAD is currently building an 80-acre multi-functional facility— the Agriculture, Recreation and Performing Arts Park— designed to support outdoor activities and community events in response to growing recreational demands.
17 SPRINGS in Millbrook continues to expand. Upcoming projects include more parking, upgraded concessions, improved traffic flow and a proposed Marketplace to support and complement activity at the complex.
