With the recent sale of the former Little League Central Region Headquarters in Indianapolis, Little League® International has officially announced the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield, Ind., as the location for the 2017 Little League Baseball® and Little League Softball® Central Region Tournaments in 2017.
“We are very grateful for the opportunity of hosting the Central Region Tournaments at the Grand Park Sports Campus and are looking forward to the excitement that the tournament atmosphere creates each year,” said Patrick Wilson, Little League International Tournament Director and Senior Vice President of Operations and Program Development. “With its proximity to Indianapolis, this campus will be a great temporary home to our tournaments, as our staff and volunteers continue to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all the participating players and coaches.”
Located on a 400-acre property, at 19000 Grand Park Blvd, in Westfield, Ind., the Grand Park Sports Campus features 26 diamonds with bleacher seating provided at each location, batting cages, concession stands, and more, and will serve as an exciting location for the 2017 Central Region Tournaments.
