Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of the proposed name for the Broken Arrow Events Park Adult Softball Complex
End
Background:
The Broken Arrow Events Park Adult Softball Complex is located in the northeast corner of the Events Park at 21101 E 101st Street. Initial funding for the fields was approved in the 2014 GO Bond. On July 3, 2017, Council approved the design contract to include six fields and amenities. On June 3, 2019, a construction contract was awarded for $6,903,660. A substantial completion date has been set for July 7, 2020.
The complex will include the following amenities:
• Four (4) adult softball fields consisting of synthetic turf infields with natural grass outfields, LED ballfield lighting, scoreboards and spectator seating with shade covers.
• One (1) adaptive use synthetic turf ballfield that will allow playing opportunities for users of all abilities.
• Conditioned concession, restroom and office facility.
• Large parking area with walkways and landscaping.
The City Manager requests that the Council consider naming the complex at this time to allow staff to proceed with development of proper signage, branding, and community engagement. The Broken Arrow Adult Softball Club board recommends the Council consider the name “Broken Arrow Challenger Sports Complex” which will reflect the fact that one of the fields will be adapative and allow players of all abilities to participate. The City Manager supports this recommendation.
