West Lake Hills project beginning to raise funds
Western Hills Little League is at the front end of a fundraising effort that would bring a 50-acre sports complex to West Lake Hills. The project, which involves land off River Hills Road, includes eight baseball fields, four tennis courts, an indoor area for basketball and volleyball, a swimming pool, and four multiuse fields that can be used for soccer, football or lacrosse. The area will also have playscape amenities such as playgrounds for anyone to use.
When the sports fields are not being used by youth sports organizations, they will be available to rent.
The facility has been in the works for more than two years, and because of concerns such as lights, traffic and noise from area residents, the plans have been modified.
Not everyone is opposed to the complex. A number of other youth sports organizations have voiced their support for the facility.
