WESTFIELD — Grand Park is one of central Indiana's biggest sports assets and Westfield is looking to further cash in on that."An eight-and-a-half-hour drive from Hudson, Wisconsin," said Chris Aune, who drove his son down for a baseball tournament this weekend."It's a lot, especially when you have an 8 a.m. game," said Powers.In 2023, Grand Park had 5.5 million visits with 1.3 million unique visitors. The city says about half of them drove more than 100 miles.
"Grand Park is extremely important to the city of Westfield," said Jenell Fairman, the director of economic development.The plan includes more restaurants, hotels, entertainment attractions and maybe even a mini theme park. "The hope is by having more hotels, restaurants, entertainment here we can keep hotel traffic here, we can keep that dining experience here," said Fairman.
Westfield says the 10-year plan will be broken up into sections. The first three years could include an area for food trucks, music, as well as a hotel.
