Construction is expected to start Aug. 1 on a planned multimillion dollar sports complex<\/a> in Keller that will help transform city athletic facilities.<\/p>\n

The $17 million City Sports athletic facility is intended to complement $40 million in renovations to the Keller Sports Park near the Alliance area of north Fort Worth. About 70% of renovations are complete, city officials said.<\/p>\n

The sports complex \u2014 a one-story manufactured building that will be built on 8 acres at 401 Golden Triangle Blvd. \u2014 will be located at the northwest corner of the Keller Sports Park.<\/p>\n

ME Development LLC, a Dallas-area company, plans to complete construction by Nov. 1, 2026, according to a state filing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The building will include four indoor courts, two outdoor courts and three turf fields for basketball, volleyball, cheer activities and futsal, a type of soccer that is played indoors on a smaller court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Materials to be used include masonry, metal, glass and wood on each elevation with a vinyl rainscreen\/windblock on the east side.<\/p>\n

The filing said the development will include an open air pavilion with turf fields and concession stands.<\/p>\n

About 52 acres of the 192-acre sports park is currently undeveloped, Keller officials said.<\/p>\n

Keller City Manager Aaron Rector has said the sports complex will aid in economic growth as the city sports park is upgraded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project will expand our sports offerings, provide new tournament opportunities, and help support area restaurants and retailers, particularly in Old Town Keller,\u201d Rector previously told the Fort Worth Report.<\/p>\n

Keller council members approved the terms of a ground lease for City Sports in October 2023 and an incentive agreement in May 2024. A site plan with zoning variances to allow commercial uses at City Sports was approved in February 2025.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, city officials said renovations are nearing completion at the Keller Sports Park.<\/p>\n

New parking lots are complete and final work on Soccer Parkway is expected to wrap up soon, the city said in a late June Facebook<\/a> post. Synthetic turf has been installed on baseball fields, and a new equestrian-area restroom and storage building are expected to open in mid-to-late July.<\/p>\n

\u201cLandscaping is going in around the equestrian area and new baseball fields, and new backstops are being installed on both the baseball and softball fields,\u201d the city Facebook post said.<\/p>\n

Keller officials plan to demolish the existing baseball fourplex to \u201ccontinue transforming the park for future generations of Keller athletes and families,\u201d the city said.<\/p>\n
