This completed project will provide:
- 4 pickleball courts
- 2 half-court basketball courts
- Lighting with timers to allow for changing season natural light
- A beautiful landscaped shelter and area that serves as a windbreak and artistic space to gather with family and friends
- A trailhead connecting with Batesville’s city trail in the upcoming year
OUR VISION
YMCA Community Sports Complex
The pandemic has caused the world and our Y to rethink health and wellness, creating opportunities for exercise without barriers. Envisioning an outdoor space that allows for exercise and accessibility for all ages were key to our planning of this space.
The complex will bring community members of all ages and socio-economic groups together, with two sports that are healthy for the body and the mind. This complex will be widely utilized for
- recreation programming
- open play
- family gatherings
- tournaments
Best of all it will be FREE for ALL in the community to enjoy.
