Turf Facility

The City of Rogers is excited to introduce the new Indoor Turf Facility!

 

Background

The City of Rogers desires to construct a multi-purpose year-round synthetic turf athletic facility that will be used for soccer, baseball, lacrosse, football, walking, and exercise. The anchor of the project is a National Federation of State High School Associations soccer field under a pre-engineered stretched fabric structure. Actual dimensions to be determined during initial concept design. The city hopes to include a full-size soccer field, soccer goals, batting cages, and a play structure.

The Rogers Activity Center is anticipating an expansion that will include a 2nd sheet of ice in the future. The turf facility is intended to be designed such that a future connection to the 2nd sheet of ice is possible.

This is a Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) project.

2-7-25 The Field House is beginning to go vertical! The sidewall columns have been erected and next week three cranes will show up to set the roof trusses. Weather permitting the fabric roof installation could begin the week of 2/24/2025.

Summer, 2024
For the last several months staff has been working with the architectural firm to move the design of the Indoor Turf Facility forward. At key points in the design, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and City Council have weighed in on key design features. Currently, the general contractor is soliciting building envelope manufacturers for proposals on the facility. Once the building supplier is on board the design will be finalized, and the facility will go out to bid. Pending the outcome of the bidding process construction should start later this year with completion happening in late 2025. Staff is simultaneously working on finalizing the operations budget, allocation policies, user contracts, and staffing plan.

There is a bid alternate on the core of the building to allow for a second floor, to have a larger indoor playground and permanent batting cages.
