Construction fencing has gone up around the new Walton High School athletic complex, and some basic excavating and groundwork is getting underway.
When the Cobb Board of Education approved the $6.738 million contract in March, a rendering wasn’t available.
A Walton student who’s interested in an architecture career got in touch with us to find out more, then passed along the above architectural plans that he found on the school website.
The complex will be the new home for Raiders’ baseball and tennis teams. Access will be on Providence Road for tennis (at the left of the rendering, and Pine Road for baseball (at the bottom), with about 80 parking spaces.
The Cobb school board spent $5.65 million to acquire property for the complex, which was planned after several sports teams were relocated due the construction of the new Walton classroom building that opened in 2017.
The Walton softball and tennis teams have been playing home competitions at Terrell Mill Park since 2014.
The softball team has since moved back to the former site of the baseball team, which is playing home games this season at the East Cobb Baseball complex near Kell High School.
Construction of the Walton sports complex is expected to be completed by December.
