A development group is proposing a sports complex next to Midtown’s Atlantic Station.
Odyssey Sports Atlanta would develop the “sportsplex” on land between 450 and 464 Bishop Street. The industrial site is next to the 138-acre Atlantic Station mixed-use development at the Connector and 17th Street.The new recreational facility would include an Olympic-sized pool; 10 basketball courts; 11 tennis courts; two lacrosse and soccer fields; and a hockey rink. The project, called Odyssey Sportsplex, will be geared to training elite athletes, said Harold Buckley, an attorney representing the development group.
“These will be blue-chippers that are looking to play professionally,” Buckley said.

It looks cool, although it sounds a little elitist if you have to be a blue-chipper to use it.

That rules me out right off the bat.

Or as we call them here in Gwinnett... the Park.


Sorry to brag.

That does look cool and sounds like a great idea.

Hopefully, this can jumpstart that area and urban development can expand.

That area needs more parks, any more greenspace is welcome. It would be nice for local kids to be able to use the fields too.
This is very similar to that Atlanta Contact Point has proposed for the old Pullman Yards in Kirkwood. ATLCP.ORG | Atlanta Contact Point. They wish to use the old structures, since they cannot be torn down, as buildings to house various indoor sports.
