Ontario Sports Empire
The City acquired 200 acres of land for the development of the Ontario Sports Empire to meet the region’s growing demand for sports recreation amenities. With participation rates in baseball, soccer, and softball well above the state and national averages, the Ontario Sports Empire will be a haven for the community, sports enthusiasts and athletes of all ages and backgrounds. It will be the largest sports complex of its kind west of the Rocky Mountains and a catalyst for future growth and investment in the City.
