East Las Vegas Baseball Complex Unveils $6 Million Renovation, Community Programs
Unrivaled Sports has completed a $6 million overhaul of the former Big League Dreams park, adding nearly 980,000 square feet of AstroTurf and promising free access days and youth clinics for Ward 3.
A baseball complex in the east Las Vegas valley is celebrating a $6 million renovation that its new operator says will give local athletes a home field to be proud of and position the park to host regional and national tournaments.
Unrivaled Sports on Tuesday unveiled the transformation of the former Big League Dreams complex at Pecos Road and Washington Avenue. The project included nearly 980,000 square feet of new AstroTurf across six rebuilt baseball fields, according to the company.
The group also restored and reinforced the replica outfield walls, repainted the perimeter home run netting and completed extensive infrastructure upgrades. Two restaurants on the property were renovated as well.
"Las Vegas has become an incredible sports town, and we think young athletes deserve to feel like they're part of that," Wade Martin, president of Unrivaled Sports, said in a statement. "Our goal was never simply to put a new name on this park. We wanted to invest in a place that already meant something to this community and give local athletes and families a home field they can be proud of."
Unrivaled said it worked closely with the city of Las Vegas on the transformation. Alongside the unveiling, the company announced a series of community initiatives for next year, including free community access days, baseball and softball clinics for Ward 3 youth, opportunities for local schools to host playoff and championship games at the park, and an annual back-to-school event for Ward 3 families.
"We will continue to invest and add new amenities for use by our residents, and the multi-million-dollar improvements by Unrivaled to the existing sports park area bring this facility to the next level," Las Vegas City Councilwoman and Mayor Pro Tem Olivia Diaz said in a statement. "I look forward to families enjoying everything it has to offer, especially our young athletes."
The renovation arrives as Las Vegas continues to expand its profile as a sports destination, and supporters say the upgraded park will help ensure that youth leagues and families in the eastern valley share in that momentum.
