Dodge Jones Youth Sports Center
Premier Location, Regional Attraction
“Since its very founding, Abilene has been a community driven by a pioneering spirit and an unshakable foundation built on faith and family. From the Abilene Zoo to the Grace Museum, this spirit and determination of past leaders has led to many truly amazing accomplishments in our history. I fully believe the Abilene Youth Sports Center will be another premier venue of this magnitude, providing our area with first-class youth sports programs and attracting teams from across the state for tournaments and events. The Abilene Youth Sports Center will truly be a ‘game-changer’ for Abilene!”
