Fargo Sports Complex (Fargo Park District)
FARGO (KFGO) – The Fargo Park District unveiled its plans for the Fargo Sports Complex and announced the support of the project’s current 11 community partners.
The partners include Alex Stern Family Foundation, Bell Bank, Beverage Wholesalers, Inc., Cornerstone Bank, Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau, Hector Foundation, Kvalvog Family, Midco, MinnKota Recycling, Sanford Health, and SCHEELS.
“We think Fargo is a world-class community and should have a world-class facility. When people come to Fargo we want them to experience how great Fargo is and this facility will help them see that,” expressed Fargo Park District Board President, Vicki Dawson.
Executive Director of the Fargo Park District Dave Leker said, “A vision like this is much bigger than the Fargo Park District. This is a collective effort. What these partners have done is laid the groundwork. We thank them for their inspiration, and now it’s up to us to get this done. We continue to seek additional community-centered partners to make this facility a reality.”
Construction of the Fargo Sports Complex is planned on 100 acres just west of Interstate 29, between 52nd Avenue and 64th Avenue South. Once opened, the Fargo Sports Complex will address a critically unmet need for indoor recreation facilities available in the Fargo community. The project includes 1 full-size indoor soccer turf field, 4 full-sized basketball courts, administrative offices, multipurpose community space, and an indoor walking track.
The Fargo Park District confirmed that Sanford Health will serve as a business partner for the Fargo Sports Complex with the facility also serving as a home for Sanford POWER.
President and CEO of Sanford Health Bryan Nermoe said, “As a kid growing up here, organized wellness activities were a way of life. Today, more than ever, these activities are so very important for our youth and our community.”
