Keller intends to mark economic growth by creating a sporting destination for the County of Tarrant with a planned sports facility of $ 17 million and 40 million dollars in the city’s sports park.
The City Sports Complex – an installation of a floor and 83,620 square feet which will be built on almost 8 acres at 401 Golden Triangle Blvd. – will be located at the northwest corner of Keller Sports Park, currently under renovation.
Me Development LLC, based in Plano, and the Healthletic partners of Dallas, soon in the field, just east of the alliance region in the extreme north of Fort Worth.
Keller City Director Aaron Rector said the sports complex would help economic growth in local businesses.
“The municipal council has set an objective to establish our sports park as a leading destination, and City Sports Partnership passes this vision at the next level,” said Rector. “The project will expand our sports offers, will offer new tournament opportunities and help support restaurants and retailers in the region, especially in the old town of Keller.”
The region of the old town of Keller – west of the highway 377 / Main Street of FM 1709 / Keller Parkway in Pecan Street – received around $ 4.25 million in improvements, including a new car park, a road extension, new lighting and community spaces in 2016-2017. The second phase of the project, which should start later this year, will cost $ 30.7 million and will bring improvements to South ELM Street as well as new car parks, improvements in drainage, lighting and new water, sewers, communication, power and gas pipes.
The members of the council approved the terms of a ground lease for the city sports in October 2023 and an incentive agreement for the project in May 2024.
On February 18, Keller’s Council voted for 6-1 for OK a resolution that approved a site plan with zoning differences that allow commercial uses in the sports of the city.
The City Sports Building will include four interior shorts, two outdoor shorts and three fields of lawn for basketball, volleyball, joy activities and futsal, a type of football that is played inside in a short court.
The building will include masonry, metal, glass and wood on each altitude with a plural vinyl / wind block on the east side.
The renovations of the sports park – The result of a study of the working group in 2021 – include a new home house and meeting rooms, a new versatile grass field which replaces a synthetic grassy field, two new enlightened baseball fields, new shadow structures, new toilets, storage areas and concession buildings as well as renovations to existing installations. The park will also have an improvement in landscaping, lighting, fencing, handguns and nets.
Improvements will also include 102 new parking spaces to use at City Sports and Keller Sports Park. 177 other spaces near football fields will also be used.
The site access will be improved with two new aisles built on Golden Triangle Boulevard. The western journey will connect to Soccer Parkway.
The city had no solid number of people could visit the complex each year, said a Keller spokesperson.
The project will face the competition of other sports facilities in Tarrant, notably Mansfield Sports Park, an installation belonging to the city undergoing major renovations.
This installation at the 500 Heritage Parkway South – which is expected to attract 250,000 annual visitors – will be improved with new technologies, security and improvements in the field, installations and interior concessions and spectator zones thanks to a public -private partnership.
Keller families will be attracted to sports facilities, said mayor Armin Mizani.
“City Sports’ significant investment in our community will strengthen our efforts to ensure that Keller’s young people and families have world -class recreational spaces to play and come together,” said Mizani. “Coupled with the city’s own $ 40 million investments in the Keller Sports Park, these improvements will strengthen Keller as the most family -friendly city in Texas.”
