Orange Beach High School Athletic Facilities To Get Upgrades

The Orange Beach City Council recently made moves for improvements to the high school’s athletic facilities, which are to be just the beginning of an ambitious program for upgrades across the board for the school, eventually including an on-campus stadium for football and soccer, OBA reports. “We should start on the athletic facilities adjacent to the Performing Arts Center’s parking lot on August 1,” Superintendent Randy Wilkes said. The new athletic facilities will be constructed on the school’s campus. The plans will include a competition gymnasium, multipurpose pavilion, multisport field house, track and football stadium on the property between William Silvers Road and the Performing Arts Center. Sports tourism opportunities are expected for sports including basketball, volleyball and soccer tournaments, band festivals, track meets, seven-on-seven camps, athletic showcases, combines, concerts and movie nights.
