Longtime Las Vegas sports complex begins a new chapter as a home field for local athletes and families while welcoming regional and national youth sports events

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Las Vegas continues to establish itself as one of America's leading sports cities, Unrivaled Sports is investing in making sure young athletes have a place in that story.

Today, Unrivaled Sports is celebrating the official unveiling of Unrivaled Sports Park Las Vegas, following a $6 million transformation of the former Big League Dreams complex. A fixture in the Las Vegas youth sports community for more than 16 years, the park originally opened in January 2010 and became part of Unrivaled Sports in January 2025. At the time, the company committed to investing $2 million in improvements during its first 18 months of operating the property. Since then, Unrivaled Sports has invested more than three times that amount, with improvements touching nearly every part of the park.

"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. "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 improvements include nearly 980,000 square feet of new AstroTurf across six rebuilt baseball fields. Unrivaled Sports also restored and reinforced the replica outfield walls, replaced the perimeter home run netting, and completed extensive landscaping, pedestrian, technology, and infrastructure upgrades. Nigro Construction renovated approximately 6,000 square feet of restaurant space across two restaurants. New Unrivaled Sports Park signage and wayfinding complete the park's updated look.

The result is a park designed to serve two roles: a reliable, high-quality home field for Las Vegas athletes, coaches, and families, and a destination capable of bringing regional and national tournaments, teams, and visitors to the city.

"Gary Reese Freedom Park is a regional outdoor space that serves the entire Las Vegas valley and Ward 3," Mayor Pro Tem Olivia Diaz said. "We will continue to invest and add new amenities for use by our residents, and the multi-million-dollar improvements by Unrivaled to the existing sports park area bring this facility to the next level. I look forward to families enjoying everything it has to offer, especially our young athletes."

Unrivaled Sports has worked closely with the City of Las Vegas throughout the transformation, meeting regularly with city leaders on improvements to the park and ways the property can continue serving the surrounding community. That relationship will extend into the future, with a shared goal of creating meaningful youth sports experiences for athletes and families throughout Las Vegas.

Unrivaled Sports partnered with Vegas for Athletes to support the 2026 Summer Games, which drew more than 3,000 registered young athletes and offered free heart screenings, with the City of Las Vegas serving as a presenting sponsor. Beginning in 2027, Unrivaled Sports Park Las Vegas will host the Vegas for Athletes baseball tournament.

In conjunction with the unveiling, Unrivaled Sports is also announcing plans for a series of community initiatives for 2027, including free community access days, baseball and softball clinics for Ward 3 youth, opportunities for local schools to host playoff and championship games at the park, and an annual back-to-school event for Ward 3 families.

"The ribbon cutting is one day," Martin continued. "What happens afterward is what it's all about. We want to keep showing up for this community, while also giving young athletes traveling to Las Vegas a chance to experience the same excitement around sports that has made this city such an incredible destination."

Unrivaled Sports Park Las Vegas is the first property in the company's portfolio to carry the Unrivaled Sports Park name, establishing a new identity for regional sports facilities. The concept is built around the belief that every young athlete deserves a home field to call their own, combining high-quality facilities with long-term investment in the communities where the parks operate.
