The Crown Point Sportsplex is getting almost a million dollars in upgrades as it prepares for the spring baseball season. Our partners at Lakeshore Public Radio report work is underway to replace the existing infields at six softball fields with turf.

When completed, nine of the 12 fields at the Sportsplex will have turf infields. The project includes installation of proper drainage and infrastructure.

Crown Point Mayor Pete Land said the complex draws tens of thousands of athletes and visitors annually and the upgrades will keep the facility “at the forefront of regional complexes.”

In addition to the natural grass fields, the 95 acre complex offers two synthetic turf multi-purpose fields.
