The City of Northglenn broke ground yesterday on The Courts Sports Complex, a full-service, multi-sport facility to be constructed at 11290 Washington Street. The facility is scheduled to open in September of 2019.
“The Courts is determined to create an unmatched atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of every user of the facility,” said John Wray, co-owner of The Courts Sports Complex. “Our vision is to be the area’s leading sports venue, fueled by sports clubs and teams that inspire athletic achievement and enjoyment.”
The 31,500-square-foot facility will house four regulation-size basketball/volleyball courts which will highlight the main floor for team leagues, practices, tournaments, camps, and clinics. Additional courts at the facility will accommodate pickle-ball, futsal, badminton, gymnastics, dance, cheer, aerobics, and more. The space can also be rented as a venue for other events and business meetings.
“This is the perfect site for a much needed sports facility, not only for our community, but also throughout the metro north region,” said Northglenn Mayor Carol Dodge. “The Courts will provide an opportunity for all ages to play sports in a state-of-the-art facility. It will also provide a safe place and atmosphere for kids to have a positive athletic experience, while having fun.”
The facility is estimated to draw between 2,000-4,000 visitors per week, with as many as 250,000. It will include a café, a lounge area and a retail component. Approximately 20% of its users will be adults, with the remaining being youth ranging from 5-17 years of age. The facility plans to employ around 14 people.
“The city of Northglenn has worked well with us to achieve our goal. I’m confident the public will embrace our programs and features we’ll offer bridging the gap between youth and community,” said Dean Teuber, Co-Owner, The Courts Sports Complex.
