GREENWOOD, Ind. – The City of Greenwood and the Greenwood Parks Foundation today announced Hubler Automotive Group will be the premier facility partner of the Greenwood Fieldhouse until 2031. Under the agreement, Hubler will contribute financially to the Greenwood Parks Foundation each year to further support and grow recreational opportunities at the Fieldhouse and throughout Greenwood.
In recognition of this significant commitment to parks and recreation in Greenwood, Hubler will receive prominent branding and signage rights throughout the Fieldhouse, alongside Greenwood branding.
“The Parks and Recreation Department has done an outstanding job on this project, which will harmoniously blend the old with the new, exemplifying Greenwood as the city of pride and progress,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the team at Hubler Automotive Group for their commitment. Partnerships like this one are critical for communities to thrive, and we are eager to bear witness to the benefits of this mutually beneficial relationship.”
The Fieldhouse, set to wrap up construction by the end of this year, will be a modern sports and fitness complex anchoring the redevelopment of the former Greenwood Middle School site in the heart of downtown. City officials announced in 2018 that the property’s north gymnasium would be preserved and repurposed as a new recreational facility.
Hubler’s contributions will be donated to the Greenwood Parks Foundation, a 501(c) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to promote, preserve, and enhance public parks, green spaces and recreational programs in Greenwood. The funding will be used to maintain and increase recreational opportunities at the Fieldhouse and beyond for years to come.
Foundation President Krista Taggart expressed her enthusiasm for the project and partnership with Hubler. “The Greenwood Parks Foundation is beyond excited for the opening of the Greenwood Fieldhouse,” said Taggart. “Hubler’s decision to invest in our parks and recreation opportunities for our community will directly benefit all Greenwood residents and will help us to continue providing diverse, authentic amenities and opportunities for all ages. We greatly look forward to the decade ahead.”
Once completed, the Greenwood Fieldhouse will include an elevated indoor running and walking track, two multi-purpose turf fields – which can be used for soccer, lacrosse and several other sports – basketball/volleyball courts and several indoor pickleball courts.
This agreement with Hubler Automotive Group is the parks’ largest public-private partnership to date. Hubler’s General Manager, Brooke Hubler, spoke to this monumental partnership.
“We are excited and grateful for this opportunity to partner with the City of Greenwood and to help the Greenwood Fieldhouse become a staple destination in our community,” said Hubler. “Exercise and wellness are critical components of healthy living, and we are proud to align ourselves with the Fieldhouse as it encourages our residents to embrace active lifestyles.”
