kelley sports complex

Kelley Sports Complex is a fully developed, 18-acre sports facility which includes four fields to accommodate baseball and softball games, one large multi-purpose field, which will accommodate soccer games, and a walking trail just under one mile in length and a children's playground. All the ball fields and the walking trail are lighted. A large, centrally located, two-story, multi-sided building houses the concessions, restrooms, and press facilities. There is a smaller concessions/restrooms building at the multi-purpose field. The sports facility began in 1993 with a dream in the mind of Mayor Dale Kelley and a cornfield on the Buena Vista Road in Huntingdon. Planning, engineering, survey work, applications for funding, and many other details were worked out over the course of the next three years. In the Summer of 1996, the cornstalks and scrub trees were cleared, some adjacent land was purchased, and grading of the site began. Bit by bit, the progress was made. Construction continued until the early part of 1999, when the sports facility was officially dedicated. The sports complex was named for Mayor Dale Kelley by an official action of the Town Council in 1998.	In 2003, expansions and improvements to the complex began. In 2004, Carroll County donated the Sesquicentennial Park to the Town of Huntingdon. This park joins Kelley Sports Complex along a portion of the northeast boundary. A new picnic pavilion is currently under construction at Sesquicentennial Park, named in 1971 for the 150th anniversary of Carroll County. The town is proud to provide this quality sports complex for our citizens and neighbors. Signs and plaques at Kelley Sports Complex identify the many contributors to the development of the park. Special thanks and recognition is given to: Town of Huntingdon Employees Bank of Huntingdon Carroll Bank & Trust Baptist Memorial Hospital Thomas Bradford Company Norandal, USA Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Lexington Tennessee Army National Guard Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation Recreational Resources Division
