Breaking Ground: New Albany Fieldhouse & Community Center

On October 28, WSA joined the New Albany and Plain Township community for the groundbreaking ceremony of the highly anticipated Fieldhouse and Community Center project. This event marked the progress into construction of the state-of-the-art facility.

Located on the northwest corner of Bevelhymer Road and Walnut Street, the new complex will offer an impressive array of amenities for the community. The Fieldhouse will feature a 66,850 square foot turf area and a 65,000 square foot court/track area, providing top-tier athletic surfaces for training and competition.

Complementing the sports facilities, the Community Center will boast an array of multipurpose spaces, including three community rooms, a game lounge, art rooms, technology labs, and fitness areas. These versatile spaces will cater to a wide range of recreational, educational, and community-oriented activities.

The groundbreaking ceremony is a significant milestone in the project’s timeline. Site preparation and construction are slated to begin in early 2025, with the Fieldhouse and Community Center expected to open in the Fall of 2026. This exciting new facility will undoubtedly become a cornerstone of the New Albany community, offering residents access to exceptional athletic, recreational, and enrichment opportunities.
