Greenwood has announced plans for a $22 million amateur sports complex, featuring an 85,000-square-foot facility to host prep sports tournaments, and it includes a hotel and a massive fitness center for the public.
The GoodSports Enterprises development is expected to open next year, according to reports. The complex will be built on the former proposed site for a Cabela’s store, which announced plans to build its store in Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville in March.
Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said the amateur sports complex announcement reinforces the idea of how important the industry of youth sports is in the state.
“I think it is wonderful as we develop Indianapolis regionally as a sports Mecca. I think it’s great. I compliment them,” he said.
Cook said Greenwood’s plans will not compete with Grand Park.
“It’s a different market – an indoor facility for basketball and volleyball,” he said. “We’ll enhance each other.”
While this project is not competition, Cook said it won’t be long before Westfield sees similar projects at Grand Park.
“We’ll see others doing what we are doing,” he said. “We have to get better every day so we can be the best.”
