East Las Vegas residents now have a state‑of‑the‑art baseball venue after Unrivaled Sports completed a $6 million renovation of the former Big League Dreams complex at Pecos Road and Washington Avenue. The overhaul includes nearly 980,000 square feet of new AstroTurf across six rebuilt baseball fields, reinforced outfield walls, fresh perimeter netting and extensive infrastructure upgrades.
Investing in youth and families
“Las Vegas has become an incredible sports town, and we think young athletes deserve to feel like they’re part of that,” said Wade Martin, President of Unrivaled Sports, in a statement. “Our goal was never simply to put a new name on this park. We wanted to invest in a place that already meant something to this community and give local athletes and families a home field they can be proud of.”
The renovation also refreshed two on‑site restaurants, creating better gathering spots for fans and families. In partnership with the City of Las Vegas, Unrivaled Sports announced a slate of community initiatives for the coming year, including free access days, baseball and softball clinics for Ward 3 youth, and opportunities for local schools to host playoff and championship games at the upgraded facility.
City officials applaud the project
Las Vegas City Councilwoman and Mayor Pro Tem Olivia Diaz praised the investment, noting that the improvements “bring this facility to the next level.” She added, “I look forward to families enjoying everything it has to offer, especially our young athletes.” The council’s support underscores the city’s commitment to providing quality recreational spaces that strengthen families and neighborhoods.
Beyond serving local leagues, the revamped complex is positioned to attract regional and national tournaments, potentially boosting tourism and local business revenue. The upgraded fields meet the standards required for high‑level competition, offering a venue where aspiring players can showcase their talents and where community pride can flourish.
What’s next for the park?
Unrivaled Sports plans to host an annual back‑to‑school event for Ward 3 families, reinforcing the park’s role as a hub for community engagement. The organization also intends to continue adding amenities that benefit residents, ensuring the complex remains a vibrant gathering place for years to come.
With this substantial investment, East Las Vegas now boasts a premier baseball destination that aligns with the city’s growing reputation as a sports hub, while reinforcing the values of family, faith and freedom that define the community.
