There have been preliminary talks about a possible multi-use sports complex. It could include pickleball facilities plus baseball and softball diamonds and green space for potemtial soccer fields.

Gear County CVB Markeitng Specialisr Rick Dykstra reported to the county commission that he has talked with state park officials but there was not any interest. He noted the Corps of Engineers was contacted and while recreation may fit their model any complex would be a long and timely process and there is not any infrastructure nearby.

Dykstra plans to check with the city for discussion later this month.

There has not been any final action taken on this idea at this time.
