Eagle, Idaho Real Estate News: New Sports Complex May be in the Works

For those who love the recreational opportunities that parks like Eagle Island State Park offers, you’ll be happy to learn that the City of Eagle or more specifically, the city’s Department of Parks and Rec is considering a new sports complex.

Eagle Middle School = One Crowded Piece of Real Estate

According to KBOI2.com, coaches and parents have asked repeatedly for more play space. Sometimes up to 10 sports teams practice at Eagle Middle School on any given day, causing overcrowding. Or teams must go elsewhere to find play space, including church yards or even in other cities.

Parks and Rec Director Mike Aho has put together a plan for the Eagle City Council that calls for a task force to help develop the new complex. It would be a volunteer group consisting of a land developer, leaders of sports teams and other city members familiar with the parks.
