Arizona Athletic Grounds (formerly Legacy Sports Park, Bell Bank Park, and Legacy Park) is a multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex in Mesa, Arizona. Located on the site of a former General Motors testing ground, the 275-acre facility opened in January 2022 and is one of the largest youth sports and entertainment complexes in North America. In 2018, Mesa voters rejected a bond proposal for a nearby state-owned sports facility, clearing the way for a privately financed alternative. The project, developed by Legacy Sports, broke ground in October 2020 under the name Legacy Sports Park. In September 2021, a 10-year naming rights agreement with Bell Bank rebranded the venue as Bell Bank Park. Construction costs were reported at approximately $280 million. The facility opened to the public on January 7, 2022. Bell Bank ended its naming rights agreement on April 14, 2023, and the venue reverted to Legacy Park. On May 1, 2023, owner Legacy Cares filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reporting approximately $366.7 million in liabilities against $242.3 million in assets. In December 2023, the property was acquired out of bankruptcy by AZ Athletic Associates LLC - a joint venture between Mike Burke and Rocky Mountain Resources - and rebranded as Arizona Athletic Grounds. In 2025, its second full year under new ownership, Arizona Athletic Grounds reported more than 2.8 million visitors, a 16% year-over-year increase, with guests representing all 50 states. Nearly one million visits occurred in the first quarter of 2025, driven by Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents' Day weekend tournaments. The facility contains 158 fields and courts across more than 475,000 square feet of indoor fieldhouse space, supporting basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, beach volleyball, soccer, pickleball, cheer, and dance. Outdoor venues include a 2,200-seat championship field, 24 multi-purpose fields (20 turf and four natural grass), 41 pickleball courts with a 1,800-seat shaded cham
