Well, a popular Alexandria Park could soon undergo
a major transformation.
The city proposed a new indoor sports
and events complex at Cameron Run.
Maureen's down there now with more details for us.
Hey, good morning. So yeah,
the proposal would transform it into a year-round sports
and recreation and also event space.
We're talking about this behind me. This is Cameron
Run Regional Park. Families have come here for years
for things like water park fun, mini golf,
and the holiday activities that you see there.
The city is proposing a 210,000 square foot
indoor complex for sports and events.
It could host local leagues, school programs, camps,
tournaments, along with larger events that bring visitors
to Alexandria. The plan also calls for
for community and park amenities
with details that are still subject to public input.
The city says that public access
to the park's environmental features,
that would continue.
Nova Parks, which has operated Cameron Run
for nearly 50 years,
they are expected to leave
when their lease ends in 2028.
But some changes would happen sooner.
The outdoor ice rink will not open this year
and the holiday attraction now called Bright Nights
will have its final season through January 3rd.
Now, Great Waves, Mini Golf and Batting Cages
are expected to remain open through Labor Day 2027.
The city is estimated
that the project would cost $117 million,
and it proposes using $107 million in bonds
with ALX Sports raising another $10 million
and operating the complex under a long-term
lease.
A lot of details here still to be worked out, but nothing is final yet.
This is just a proposal.
There will be a community meeting tomorrow
for the public to weigh in on this.
It's happening tomorrow night at 6 o'clock virtually.
So officials still planning this and working through the concept.
Nothing concrete yet, but if they get their way,
what you see behind me will be far different.
That's the latest for now.
I'LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU IN THE
studio.
