The highly anticipated West Henderson fieldhouse, an indoor sports and family entertainment complex, moves forward following the recent City Council approval of the design and construction. Whiting-Turner Contracting Company and Klai Juba Wald Architecture + Interiors were awarded the agreement.
“We are thrilled to continue providing amenities that enhance the quality of life for our residents,” said Henderson City Manager and CEO Richard Derrick. “The West Henderson fieldhouse is a much-anticipated addition to our community that will serve as a hub for sports and entertainment for our residents, as well as a catalyst for economic growth for our great City.”
The indoor sports complex was initially introduced for public feedback at the May 21 City Council meeting. It was unanimously approved at the July 2 City Council meeting and will be built behind Chicken N Pickle on St. Rose and Maryland Parkways.
The 160,000 square-foot, two-level facility will offer Parks and Recreation programming, youth sports activities, camps and clinics and will feature 30,000 plus square-feet of family entertainment featuring:
- Four 84’x50’ basketball courts that can be transitioned to eight volleyball courts
- Two 200’ x 100’ synthetic turf fields
- Multi-purpose event spaces
- Child watch space
- Laser tag
- 24 bowling lanes
- Redemption arcade
- Outdoor mini golf
- Axe throwing
- Fitness and group fitness rooms
- Full-service food and beverage
Henderson residents will be eligible for 20% discounts on all event programming and activities.
Through a public-private partnership with KemperSports, an industry leader in sports, hospitality, and entertainment management, the City can provide residents with an in-demand facility and services without long-term financial impact on residents.
“We are excited to welcome Whiting-Turner and Klai Juba Wald to the project team,” said Steve Goris, KemperSports Senior Vice President. “Their reputation for delivering exceptional design-build projects aligns perfectly with our vision for the West Henderson Fieldhouse. Together, we are creating a facility that will set a new standard for sports and entertainment in the nation.”
Construction is expected to be completed in Fall 2026. The total project cost is $70 million, with KemperSports contributing $10 million. The remaining one-time costs will be funded through the Public Infrastructure Bond Sale, West Henderson Development Fund, and City Municipal Facilities Fund.
