The ultimate goal of this study will be to identify youth sports growth opportunities for Fort Wayne, recommend future sports facility needs, and suggest ways to expand sports marketing efforts both regionally and nationally. It&#8217;s anticipated the study will be completed by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Legacy Fort Wayne was created by proceeds from the sale of the City Light Utility to Indiana Michigan Power and its funds are being used to create transformational change in the community.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Perry Ehresman, Deputy Director, Fort Wayne Parks &amp; Recreation at 260-427-6009.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/bc\/93635.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Parks and Recreation Director, Al Moll, speaks during the McCulloch Park rededication.
