Sportsplex Event Center

Hastings+Chivetta is working with the City of Jonesboro to develop a design for their new Sportsplex. The facility will be one-of-a-kind in Northeast Arkansas, offering amenities not available elsewhere in the region.

Currently in the planning stage, the Hastings+Chivetta team is working with community representatives to develop options for the Sportsplex. The broader goal is for the project to become an economic driver for the region by hosting a variety of tournament events and meets.

Multiple concepts are currently being explored. A multi-court gymnasium is the highlight of the facility, with uses including basketball, volleyball and pickleball. Flexible bleacher seating is included as well. This space creates a venue for local and regional tournaments, as well as for local school teams and recreational users. The gym is supported by a large dining area off of the main lobby that would be a revenue-generating opportunity for the Sportsplex.

A 50 meter pool includes team seating for 500 and spectator seating above for nearly 1,000. A potential adjacent lap pool would allow for local and regional meet use as well as local recreation use.

Potential additional amenities include an indoor tennis center or an indoor soccer center.
