STATE-OF-THE-ART SPORTS FACILITY in Solon/Glenwillow
Glenwillow, OH…Investors, led by local entrepreneur Howard Wolsky, announced today that they will open a new multi-sport indoor recreational facility in the fall of 2009 in The Village of Glenwillow – Solon, Ohio. The new, multiple field, state-of-the-art sports facility, operating under the name Sportsland Ohio Indoor Sports (www.sportslandohio.com), will be constructed adjacent to The Donald Norman Payne Community Park.
“Cuyahoga, Summit and Portage counties represent one of the most vibrant recreational sports markets in Ohio and we think our first-class facility will offer a new level of excitement for indoor sports players, coaches and spectators alike”, said Howard Wolsky, managing partner of the company.
We are in the middle of negotiations to purchase a five acre urban renewal parcel of real estate from the Village of Glenwillow to be developed as an indoor sports complex. The plan is to build a brand new 8o,ooo square foot state of the art sports facility to be located on Pettibone Road very close to , and as an extension of, the Glenwillow Village Center Development. It will also be adjacent to the Donald Norman Payne Sports Complex of outdoor soccer and baseball diamonds and the Tinker's Creek conservation area. As negotiations are completed and final plans take shape, we will keep you updated. The 80,000+ sq. ft. facility features two large turf fields (185’ x 85’ and 95’ x 200’) featuring Pure Grass® (www.astroturf.com/pure_grass.htm) suitable for indoor soccer, lacrosse, flag football, softball and baseball training. In addition, four regulation Taraflex® volleyball courts will be installed (which can convert in part or whole to three regulation basketball courts) —all in a year ‘round fully climate-controlled environment. The facility is both player and spectator friendly and features glass dasher boards with a large area for spectator seating. Sportsland Ohio Indoor Sports also features an audio and video system that broadcasts sports action over 15 large screen TV monitors located throughout the facility. A full service café, video arcade, and party and community meeting rooms add to the Sportsland Ohio Indoor Sportsexperience.
“The area will gain a major attraction and a positive, family oriented year ‘round recreational facility,” said Mayor Don Payne of Glenwillow. “Sportsland Ohio Indoor Sports fills a much needed void for a topflight indoor sports facility and is a welcome addition to the community” said Don Holub, Recreation Director for the City of Solon.
Sportsland Ohio Indoor Sports offers programs and leagues for individuals and teams aged 3 to 103. Special programs for beginners, clinics and camps for players of all ages and recreational and competitive leagues for youth and adults are offered throughout the year.
“Sportsland Ohio will set a new standard for recreational and competitive sports facilities,” commented Steve Michener, owner of Pinnacle Indoor Sports, LLC, a national consulting firm and consultant with the facility. “Everything is going to be of the highest quality and professionalism to insure that players, coaches and spectators alike enjoy the experience.”
Ground breaking is set for early April 2009 with a spectacular grand opening scheduled for October.
