- Walking track
- Workout facility
- Rock climbing wall
- 2 conference rooms
- Concessions
When will it be ready?
Construction at the site began last month and with the official groundbreaking ceremony in the books, excitement in the area is only growing and now it’s all about how long the construction phase will last.
According to The Land at Saraland website, outdoor facilities are expected to be available to use by Fall 2024. The indoor facility is expected to be ready next Spring.
Where will the sportsplex be?
The project is beginning just off Celeste Road in north Saraland behind the city’s Fire Station 3. You will likely be seeing plenty of construction in the area over the next year.
