Sneak peek into Fargo Parks Sports Center ahead of grand opening

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – Its facilities won’t be open to the public until June 3rd, and the whole structure won’t even be completed until the new year. And yet, the the Fargo Parks Sports Center is already having a big impact on peoples’ lives.

“We had staff that were working out of makeshift closets,” said parks executive director Susan Faus, “and as we expanded our team, we just ran out of space.”

That precipitated the move from the old rail depot to the Sports Center — and now, space is one thing they have in abundance.

“Our employees are getting a lot more steps,” laughed Faus.

As of right now, the facility hosts basketball courts, a full turf field, a walking track, concession stands, lactation stations, and state-of-the-art rehab and training facilities from Sanford sports. To name a few amenities.

Even those who work for Sanford, and will be specializing in one area, such as basketball manager Freddy Coleman, say the real value of a space like this is how all the facets come together.

“I’m more excited as a father,” he said.

“To see my kids come through this building and this facility, to pick and choose what they want to do. Not just basketball, not just lifting, there’s a lot of different things that my kids over the next ten full years are going to be experiencing in this building.”
