The Good Game Sports Park in Truesdale will be moving on to a new location, and temporarily closing on Sept. 30, according to a post on their Facebook page from Aug. 14.
The sports park offered a variety of activities including paintball, airsoft, nerf wars as well as an indoor soccer complex that was nearing completion.
In the end, owner Dustin Loeffler said the effort to maintain the 37-acre property was too much for the team there at the sports park and they decided it would be more worthwhile to search for a new, smaller location.
Loeffler said that much of the future of the business remained uncertain, although he said he had identified a buyer for the property, which includes significant frontage on the south outer road of Interstate 70.
While the sale of the property is moving forward, Loeffler said he was not yet at liberty to name the buyer as the sale was still being finalized. He did however state in the Facebook post that the new owner planned to develop the property for a different purpose than its current state.
He did however, commit to purchasing an additional parcel of land in Truesdale and that he wanted to keep his business in the area.
“There’s a couple that we’re interested in, and one contract on land in Truesdale, but we’re not going to disclose that until the sale is final,” Loeffler said.
Loeffler had also committed that anyone who purchased a season pass for 2024 to the sports park would receive a season pass for 2025 when he expects to open the new location.
There were also uncertainties about what options would be available at the new location as with the planned decrease in size Loeffler was unsure what would fit on the property.
Previously he had attempted to develop the property on Veterans Memorial Parkway into a motocross track as well as the existing paintball and airsoft fields.
“It depends on what parcel of land we end up with,” said Loeffler. “That will dictate what we do.”
Truesdale Mayor Jerry Cannon was appreciative that Loeffler planned to keep his business in Truesdale and hoped that there would be new development.
“We’re hopeful for some retail in that area,” said Cannon.
