Rock Hill leaders hope new sports facility will spur downtown development

ROCK HILL, S.C. — A new sports facility is coming to downtown Rock Hill and city leaders believe it will be just as successful as the Rock Hill Sports and Event Center.

The facility, which will sit near White Street and Stewart Avenue, is expected to make a multi–million dollar economic impact. It will feature pickleball, basketbal and volleyball courts, allowing the facility to host major sporting events. In addition, a private developer will build townhomes next to the site.
