Castle Rock Council discusses plans for new ball fields amid fairgrounds master plan

The Douglas County Town Hall meeting held on April 15, 2025, focused on the development of the new Zebulon mega sports complex and the ongoing discussions regarding baseball fields in Castle Rock. The meeting began with an update on the fairgrounds master plan, which has seen limited progress since discussions began last May.

A key point raised was the plan to eliminate one baseball field at the fairgrounds, with no immediate plans to replace it. A council member emphasized the need for community input, urging residents to express their concerns to the Castle Rock Town Council regarding the demand for additional ball fields.

The discussion highlighted the collaboration between local organizations, including Goldcrown, which is working with Castle Rock to establish a new ball field complex adjacent to the town. While these plans are still in the early stages and not yet available for booking, there is optimism about the potential for increased facilities.

The council member reassured attendees that the commitment remains to never reduce the number of available fields. Future plans may involve reconfiguring existing fields based on the fairgrounds master plan, but the goal is to ensure that the community will always have access to at least the same number of fields, if not more.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the importance of community engagement in shaping local sports facilities and the ongoing efforts to enhance recreational opportunities in Douglas County, particularly with the anticipated developments at the Zebulon mega sports complex.
