DISCUSSION:
PADUCAH SPORTS PARK
Communications Manager Pam Spencer offered the following summary:
"McCracken County Community Development Project Manager Steve Ervin provided an update on
the Paducah Sports Park which will be constructed at the former Bluegrass Downs site and Stuart
Nelson Park. Earlier this year the City and County approved the construction documents with the
project placed out to bid this spring. At this time, bids have been submitted with bids received for
site work, buildings, food and beverage equipment, lighting, and field turf. Ervin said that on
Monday the McCracken County Sports Tourism Commission approved recommending the
construction contracts for the project to the City and County.
At January's meeting, it was announced that the estimated cost of the facility's construction is $65
million. However, the recent bids exceeded that amount leading to a need to remove some design
elements at this time including the grandstand rehabilitation, the championship field adjacent to the
grandstand, a small building, maintenance area, and the basketball and pickleball areas. These
features could be redesigned and added at a later date.
After these deductions, the design includes five rectangular fields and four diamond-shaped fields
that can be configured in a variety of ways and sizes. These multi -use, synthetic turf fields can
incorporate soccer, baseball, softball, rugby, or football. Other design features include a memorial
complex to Dr. Stuart Nelson, shelter and restroom facilities, concession facilities, picnic and
playground areas, and a significant amount of parking.
June 11, 2024
As outlined in the interlocal agreement, the City Commission and Fiscal Court have a 20 day
window to accept the McCracken County Sports Tourism Commission's recommendation to
proceed.
After a one-year construction period, the goal is for the facility to open in 2025. Over the past four
years, the project has included research and analysis, stakeholder engagement, and master planning.
The Paducah Sports Park has the following principles
• Become a regional destination for athletic tournament play.
• Provide high quality athletic experiences for the local community.
• Further develop the unique brand and identity of Paducah and McCracken County.
With an expectation of holding 35 to 40 tournaments per year, the McCracken County Sports
Tourism Commission estimates that the facility could generate a local economic impact of
approximately $130 million in its first five years of use."
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Cheryl Glore Goodwin commented on the need for better amenities at Coleman Park, including a
permanent restroom facility.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Commissioner Wilson offered Motion, seconded by Commissioner Smith, that the Board of
Commissioners go into closed session for discussion of matters pertaining to the following topics:
