The Olpe Fitness Park is moving along — to the point where residents are invited to a special grand opening for the high school’s new football stadium.
The field opening is coming Aug 28. Olpe Fitness Park Committee members appeared this week on KVOE’s Morning Show Newsmaker interview segment. Tyler Schmidt outlined the schedule:
Wade Schmidt says the better than $2.7 million project has gone well through the construction phase.
Wade Schmidt says the new stadium is bigger than the previous facility.
Olpe has had a lot of success at its longstanding field. Tyler Schmidt says there has been some trepidation about whether those results will translate to the new field.
While the grand opening is next week, the football stadium’s new track has been available to the public for weeks, and Tyler Schmidt says it has already seen a lot of use. Meanwhile, Phase 2 construction continues, with work underway to build a multipurpose building for restrooms, concessions and maintenance equipment, as well as a completed fitness trail for Olpe Jones Park and a long-awaited splash pad.
More information is available on the Olpe Fitness Park Facebook page.
