Grand Reopening of Salem’s Award-Winning Moyer Sports Complex
The Moyer Sports Complex in Salem, Virginia, has undergone a major transformation and is now officially back in business! After a 22-month renovation process, the complex has reopened its doors to the public, showcasing a brand new look and upgraded facilities.
The grand reopening ceremony was attended by civic leaders, community members, and those who played a crucial role in the renovation project. Salem Mayor Renee Turk expressed her excitement for the future of the complex, highlighting its importance as a hub for sports and recreation in the region.
The newly renovated Moyer Sports Complex boasts 4 updated diamonds, 13 pickleball courts, and a state-of-the-art community playground with special needs accessibility. The enhancements also include additional parking, covered bleachers, and restrooms in every dugout, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for players and spectators alike.
One of the key priorities during the renovation process was to add shade structures and improve parking facilities. John Shaner, Salem Parks and Recreation Director, emphasized the importance of these upgrades in enhancing the overall experience for visitors and ensuring the long-term success of the complex.
With a budget of $27.9 million, the project was completed under budget, thanks in large part to the efforts of G&H Contracting. Their dedication and expertise were instrumental in bringing the vision for the new and improved Moyer Sports Complex to life.
The complex, which originally opened in 1992, has been a staple in the community for over 30 years, hosting a wide range of events and tournaments. From youth softball and baseball games to NCAA championships, the Moyer has been a beloved venue for athletes and fans alike.
