 Construction at West Duluth Sports Complex to begin Monday, June 22, 2020

[Duluth, MN] Construction at West Duluth Sports Complex to begin on Monday, June 22, 2020.  Improvements to the West Duluth Sports Corridor, including the east athletic fields behind Wade Stadium and the Wheeler Athletic Complex. The City is proceeding with enhancements in 2020 through the funding support of a federal outdoor recreation grant and ½ and ½ Tourism Tax Funds, as part of the larger St. Louis River Corridor Initiative.

The scope of construction includes accessible pathways throughout the facility, a family-assist restroom, bocce ball court improvements, playing surface upgrades, an accessible water fountain, and burying existing power lines. New amenities include sand volleyball courts, standardized competition dugouts, and basketball/tennis/pickleball courts.

Residents can expect to see workers on site at the sports complex from June 22 through the end of August. Please be aware that you may notice the staging of construction materials and an increase in noise produced by the equipment during work hours from 7:30 am - 6: 30 pm. The park will remain open during construction, except fenced construction areas that may include one or more of the fields.
