Their approach involves a deep understanding of the local market and a commitment to preserving the unique character of each park. This ensures that the transformation is both successful and authentic.

Legacy Park has received a life line as Burke Operating Partners has agreed to purchase the struggling facility for $25.5 million.

The purchase price is expected to be finalized by the end of November, with much of the funds being used to pay off debt to companies that helped build Legacy Park.

Legacy Park is a 320-acre sports complex featuring multiple baseball, soccer, football, and lacrosse fields, as well as basketball courts, a multi-acre great lawn, and a 650-seat restaurant.

Hundreds of events are already booked at Legacy Park through the end of the year and will go on as planned.

The purchase will go a long way in resolving the complex bankruptcy case over the next few weeks, with all parties hoping to have the final sale approved by the federal bankruptcy court on Nov. 20.

Burke Operating Partners plans to announce exciting new partnerships and capital investment in the facility over the coming weeks.

Legacy Park features eight baseball and softball fields, 19 basketball courts, 35 soccer, football, and lacrosse fields, 57 indoor volleyball courts, and 41 pickleball courts.

The complex also features 25 acres of festival space, a 2.7-acre "Great Lawn", a 3,000-seat outdoor stadium, and a 2,800-seat indoor arena.

Legacy Park is located at the intersection of State Route 24 and Ellsworth Road and has been a beloved destination for the community since its doors opened in January 2022.
