Brown Local Schools has approved funding for a new Malvern Athletic Complex, set to be constructed at Malvern Community Park. The 6,000-square-foot facility is scheduled to open during the 2025-2026 school year.
Facility Details
The new complex will replace the existing locker room, which was built in 1989, and will feature modern amenities, including:
- Home and visiting locker rooms
- Accessible public restrooms and a family restroom
- Weight room
- Coaches’ offices
- Athletic training area
- Storage
The project is designed to meet the needs of athletes and fans, addressing outdated facilities and improving the overall experience for the community.
Fundraising for Additional Enhancements
To further enhance the project, Brown Local Schools has launched the Malvern Athletic Project fundraising campaign, aiming to raise $1.3 million for additional improvements. Key goals include:
- Installing weight room equipment
- Adding infield turf and drainage for baseball and softball fields to reduce game cancellations and expand use
- Installing turf for the football field to benefit multiple sports and community events
The campaign began Friday, Nov. 18, and has already raised more than $415,000 through foundational donations from Roman Plumbing (Kocher Family), James Woods, BellStores, Uptown Auto Services, and contributions made in memory of Beverly Tucci.
