The new 300’ x 150’ Indoor Multi-Use Recreation Facility will include a turf field for indoor soccer, softball, baseball, lacrosse, flag football, etc. and a hard-surface court for basketball, volleyball, roller skating, concerts, movies, and other civic events. With the current need and desire for indoor activity opportunities and special event space, and no comparable facility within 35 or more miles in any direction, the proposed development will go a long way to satisfy these needs and desires.
Facilities such as this, offering a variety of year round sporting opportunities for children and adults are few and far between. In order to compete at a high level, athletes need to be able to train at their sport year round. This will be an asset, not only for Westfield, but for the surrounding communities as well. Existing facilities are too far to be feasible for most area families.
