Fayetteville City Council voted unanimously to approve the construction contract for the McArthur Road Sports Field Complex during a special city council meeting on April 8. The contract was awarded to Group III Management in the amount of $13.6 million.
This multi-million dollar sports complex will feature twelve baseball fields, a multi-use building with restrooms, concessions, office space and an open-air pavilion, as well as a maintenance building to support ongoing operations. A secondary concession and restroom facility will also be located on the northern side of the parking area.
Construction will soon begin at the McArthur Road Sports Field Complex site near I-295 on McArthur Road, following a 50-year lease agreement signed in 2022 between the City and Fort Bragg for approximately 70 acres of land to build the complex.
This project is part of the 2016 parks and recreation bond referendum approved by voters.

The City will soon break ground for the sports complex.
The project, named Camden Commons, features a sprawling mixed-use development campus ready-made for new business at the intersection of Camden and Rockfish Roads. A Super Target store has been announced as one of the anchor tenants on the site.
