Dome to reopen bigger, new facilities

by | Oct 2024 | Community, Schoolcraft

The Dome Sports Center in Schoolcraft Village has changed its name. Now the Next Level Sports Center, it’s planning to show off the new facilities and why the name was changed in a November 2 free-to-the-public re-opening.

The center has ballooned to offer more activities — literally: The original inflated dome, still 212 feet long, is 263 feet wide, a gain of 102 feet. The center is also making more use of its 30-acre campus.

The new name, said Marketing Director Nikki Hackkworth, stems from a goal “to ensure that every athlete – no matter their starting point – has access to the resources, coaching and support they need to achieve their next level.”

She added, “We have big plans to broaden our impact by bringing even more athletic opportunities to all members of the community, including those with disabilities and special needs.”

For golfers, the Center provides an outdoor driving and target range, indoor driving range and putting green. For athletes it provides access to turf spaces for training, court space for basketball, volleyball, futsal and pickle ball, outdoor athletic fields and grass volleyball courts. For those with disabilities, it offers the Miracle Field, a baseball diamond for disabled kids, and a community playground open to the public, with wheelchair ramps and swings meeting ADA requirements.

The Center will be open to the public from 5-8 p.m. for the Nov. 2 opening.
