Kino Sports Complex - Tucson, AZ - Sports and baseball venue

The Kino Sports Complex, also known as the Pima County Stadium District, is a multi-purpose sports and community facility including baseball and soccer fields, a swimming pool and basketball courts. With an internal stadium able to host baseball games and numerous other events and activities, as well as meeting rooms, function rooms and a community center, it truly is a multi-function venue that can be used for any purpose.

The complex opened in 1998 and covers 158 acres. The Tucson Electric Park is located inside the complex, complete with stadium and lawn seating and accommodating up to 11,500 people. The Park is used as a setting for major-league basketball games but is also used for concerts, festivals, fundraising events, shows and a huge number of other events held throughout the year.

The Electric Park stadium is often called The Jewel of the Desert and is the training ground to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago White Sox and the Tucson Sidewinders. But, it isn't the only baseball field available - the complex is also home to 17 other fields of all sizes.

The Kino Veterans Memorial Community Center is also located in the complex and is home to a swimming pool, gym, weights room and basketball courts as well as meeting rooms and even a clay room for pottery classes. The two meeting rooms hold 35 and 85 people respectively and can be used for any type of function required from board meetings to parties, and catering can even be provided.

The community center has a number of programs and events schedules running throughout the year, and weekly classes and leagues are always going on including volleyball, aerobics and yoga.

The complex is also home to the Kino Veterans War Memorial, dedicated in 2002 to twelve local soldiers. Then there's the Sam Lena Park, an outdoor space complete with children's playground, a disc golf course, basketball court, jogging track, two softball fields and barbeque grills, offering the perfect place to relax with a picnic or enjoy some sporting activities.

The complex can be used for any number of sports and community events and even hosts major concerts from performers such as Smashmouth and The Doobie Brothers. The individual fields and community areas can all be rented for either private or community events, with festivals, fundraisers, car shows and the like being held throughout the year.

The Kino Sports Complex is the premier function and sports facility in Pima County. With so many uses and available spaces there's something to suit all requirements, and with the huge number of events going on throughout the year visitors will be sure to find something to appeal. It's worth checking back regularly to see if the calendar has been updated, as with so many top-class events going on it would be a shame to miss out!
