Pulaski County, VA – Valley Business FRONT recently reported that Pulaski County is taking steps to become a top sports and entertainment destination in Virginia. Central to this effort is the development of the 165,000 square feet Pulaski County Sportsplex. The article states that once completed, the complex will become the largest indoor sports, entertainment, and exposition facility in Virginia.
Housed in the former Gala Group manufacturing building, the Sportsplex will offer state-of-the-art indoor amenities for both residents and visitors. The facilities will include up to 26 pickleball courts, a golf simulator, a restaurant, and rentable space for events and tournaments.
