In a recent planning commission meeting, a proposal for a new sports facility in Dayton was presented, highlighting plans for both indoor and outdoor courts. The applicant expressed enthusiasm for the site's central location, which they believe will attract visitors from both North and South Dayton.
The initial phase of the project includes the construction of eight indoor courts, with plans to expand to an additional ten to twelve indoor courts and eight outdoor courts in subsequent phases. The proposed operating hours for the indoor facility are from 7:00 AM to either 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM, while the outdoor courts will be open from dawn to dusk, with no lighting planned for nighttime use.
The applicant acknowledged potential challenges discussed with city officials but expressed confidence in their ability to address these issues. The meeting also included a segment for public comments, where community members were invited to share their thoughts on the development plans.
As the proposal moves forward, the planning commission will continue to evaluate the project, with further discussions anticipated in future meetings.
