The City of Texarkana, Texas, is proud to share the findings of a recent economic impact study highlighting the substantial benefits that the newly renovated Swanger Complex at Spring Lake Park brings to the community. As a major investment in local infrastructure and sports tourism, the Swanger Complex project is projected to drive millions in economic activity and create lasting value for residents and businesses alike.
Approved by City Council on March 11, 2024, the Swanger Complex renovations include upgrades to baseball fields, bullpens, concession and restroom buildings, lighting, parking areas, and entryways. Led by Symmetry Sports Construction and funded by the 2023 Bond Fund, the $9.4 million project is one of several key capital improvements identified through citizen and council input.
According to Dustin Henslee, Assistant City Manager/ Public Works Director, the project aims not only to enhance sports facilities but also to increase Texarkana’s visibility and appeal as a tournament destination.
