Henrico officials envision new tournament-level baseball complex in Glen Allen

In an effort to meet growing demand for baseball tournaments in the county, Henrico sports tourism officials are marketing a 21-acre site at Glover Park in Glen Allen as the potential location of a new multi-field tournament-level youth and college baseball complex.

The Henrico Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Sept. 27 to transfer the land (which sits on the southeast corner of the site, near the Woodman Road extension and adjacent to the existing multi-sport fields at the park) to the newly formed Henrico Sports and Entertainment Authority, a county agency.
