The highly anticipated West Henderson Fieldhouse, an indoor sports and family entertainment complex, moves forward following this week’s City Council approval of the design and construction. Whiting-Turner Contracting Company and Klai Juba Wald Architecture + Interiors were awarded the agreement.
The indoor sports complex was initially introduced for public feedback at the May 21 City Council meeting. It was unanimously approved at the July 2 City Council meeting and will be built behind Chicken N Pickle on Rose St. and Maryland Parkways.
The 160KSF, two-level facility will offer Parks and Recreation programming, youth sports activities, camps and clinics and will feature 30KSF-plus of family entertainment featuring:
- Four 84’x50’ basketball courts that can be transitioned to eight volleyball courts;
- Two 200’ x 100’ synthetic turf fields;
- Multipurpose event spaces;
- Child watch space;
- Laser tag;
- 24 bowling lanes;
- Redemption arcade;
- Outdoor mini golf;
- Axe throwing;
- Fitness and group fitness rooms, and
- Full-service food and beverage.
Henderson residents will be eligible for 20% discounts on all event programming and activities.
Through a public-private partnership with KemperSports, the City can provide residents with an in-demand facility and services without long-term financial impact on residents.
“We are excited to welcome Whiting-Turner and Klai Juba Wald to the project team,” said Steve Goris, KemperSports Senior Vice President. “Their reputation for delivering exceptional design-build projects aligns perfectly with our vision for the West Henderson Fieldhouse. Together, we are creating a facility that will set a new standard for sports and entertainment in the nation.”
Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2026. The total project cost is $70M, with KemperSports contributing $10M. The remaining one-time costs will be funded through the Public Infrastructure Bond Sale, West Henderson Development Fund, and City Municipal Facilities Fund. (Source)
