The City of Fayetteville and Fort Bragg have agreed to build a sports complex on 70 acres of undeveloped property on post near I-295 and McArthur Road. City Manager Doug Hewett and Fort Bragg Garrison Commander Col. Scott Pence signed the agreement at City Hall May 21. The sports complex was approved by voters in the 2016 $35M recreation bond referendum. “We are excited to bring this project one step closer to fruition, but we are even more excited about this new partnership with Fort Bragg that will provide us with 70 acres of additional park land conveniently located along I-295,” said city manager Doug Hewett. “This is a win-win for Fort Bragg and for the City of Fayetteville and we appreciate their partnership,” Pence added noting that more than 70% of local service members and their families live in Fayetteville and the surrounding communities. The sports complex will include baseball fields, playgrounds, restrooms, walking trails, parking spaces and open areas. Construction is expected to begin in early 2022.
