Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers unveiled designs for a new outdoor sports complex on the city’s southeast side during his 10th State of the City address Thursday. Myers said the destination park will feature four softball diamonds, four baseball diamonds, and a multi-use playing field for soccer, cricket and other sports.

The complex will sit on 40 acres and also feature the city’s second splash pad.

“Last fall, we opened a world-class park that will anchor Greenwood’s downtown for generations to come,” said Myers. “In May, we welcomed yet another internationally known company to our community. Earlier this year, Common Councilors approved redevelopment plans for the former Greenwood Middle School property, which includes nearly $70 million in private investment. The smart money is on Greenwood. Businesses and economic development professionals are proving that fact every day.”

Also during his address, the mayor touted the city’s ninth consecutive balanced budget, a decreasing tax rate and the completion of the reimagined Old City Park. Myers said construction continues on the Greenwood Fieldhouse, which is slated to open later this year, as well as the home home for the Indiana State Police’s Aviation Section at Indy South Greenwood Airport.
