January 30th, 2024
Today Brownsburg Youth Sports (a non-profit tax-deductible entity comprised of Brownsburg Little League Baseball (BLLB) and Brownsburg Girls Softball League (BGSL)) announced their plans for a 60-acre baseball & softball complex. Their plan serves 1400+ kids, all existing programs, with a tentative opening date of mid-2026.
Their proposed design depicts an illuminated complex consisting of 6 little league fields (above left) and 6 softball fields (above right). It also includes two combination concessions & restroom buildings, two outlying batting cages, multiple dugouts, bleachers, 600 space gravel parking and a shared maintenance building. Three retention ponds are also shown. This parcel is north of Brownsburg located north of the intersection E CR 700N & N CR 900E along the Ronald Reagan Parkway.
The site was previously owned by the Brownsburg Community School Corporation. Both parties (Brownsburg Baseball Little League and Brownsburg Girls Softball) pooled their resources and purchased the land from BCSC in early fourth quarter of 2023. At the same time BCSC agreed to purchase 10.68 acres (1001 South Odell Street) from Brownsburg Youth Softball.
This most recent success differs significantly from an earlier unsuccessful attempted purchase of the same grounds – neither the Town of Brownsburg nor Brownsburg Parks were involved in this effort. Tax payer dollars were not used in any way toward the purchase nor are their use anticipated to meet expenses related to ongoing maintenance & upkeep. >> Click Here << for our coverage of the prior purchase attempt.

“Little League Baseball is the heart and soul of Brownsburg. Playing with and against my friends in a fun environment will always be some of my fondest baseball memories. This project is crucial in giving kids an opportunity to play in a fun and supportive situation that fosters proper development and a love for the game that is not prioritized in today’s world.”
– A quote from Drew Storen, Project Sponsor, BBLL alumni and former Major League Baseball player with the Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, and Cincinnati Reds.
Once this phase is completed, their website notes plans for another 42 acres of future expansion (not depicted in current renderings).
