The City of Williamsburg, James City County and York County Partner to Open a Regional Sports Center in 2026

The City of Williamsburg, James City County and York County have partnered to build and operate a regional sports center through the Historic Triangle Recreational Facilities Authority on property adjacent to the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center in the City of Williamsburg. It is projected to open in 2026.

The Historic Triangle localities have pursued a regional indoor sports center since 2014. In December 2023, the regional sports center’s design and funding strategy received approval from the localities’ governing boards.

The sports center is designed to offer an outstanding venue for sports tourism, a multibillion-dollar industry, generating new visitors, longer stays, and return visits. But the venue is also designed to address our local recreational needs. The sports center will be used for local programs Mondays through Thursdays and will be open to regional and national tournaments Fridays through Saturdays.

The approximately 200,000-square-foot sports center design includes:

• 12 basketball courts that convert to 24 volleyball courts and 36 pickleball courts
• Ceiling-mounted basketball goals, volleyball systems and scoreboards
• Conversion turf system the length of one regulation football field that fits three indoor soccer fields
• Climbing equipment, climbing wall, and additional gym equipment
• Tip & roll bleachers
• Curtain dividers
• Meeting rooms
• Food & beverage area
