STARKVILLE – The Starkville Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating two awards it won this week at the Mississippi Recreation and Park Association Conference in McComb.
Starkville won the award for Outstanding Facility Design among Class II Parks and Recreation departments for the recently completed Sportsplex facility on Lynn Lane. Class II Parks and Recreation departments are found in cities whose population lies between 15,000 and 34,000 people, Starkville Parks and Rec director Matthew Rye said.
Architect Gary Shafer designed the Starkville Sportsplex and was on hand for the award ceremony.
“With the best design, I think it’s great not only for Parks and Recreation, but also for the city of Starkville,” Rye said. “It’s something that the Department, the Park Commission, the architect, the contractor, everybody can hang their hats on. Everybody worked together and this shows you what can be done when everybody puts their ideas together and works together.”
