The proposed Soldotna Field House is a 42,000 square foot athletic and community event facility with a multi-purpose sport court, removable turf field, and an ADA-accessible elevated walking and jogging track.
The facility was designed over a two-year period with input from multiple community stakeholders, and is the culmination of a decades-long effort to build an indoor recreational facility in the central Kenai Peninsula.
Construction of the Soldotna Field House, following passage of the October 4th bond proposal, can be completed in an 18 months to two year window.
Kyle Kornelis, Soldotna Public Works Director…
This Field House will provide opportunity for Central Peninsula community members to exercise and recreate indoors, 12 months a year. The play surface can accommodate a variety of sports configurations including: soccer and futsal, batting cages for baseball and softball, football, rugby, golf, and flag football. 
The turf field system will be removable, so that the Field House can also be used for sports such as wrestling, basketball, volleyball, pickle ball, baseball, and toddler time.
The Field House would also provide additional event space to accommodate large meetings and trade shows, and further enhance the capabilities of the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex to host large events that draw thousands of people into the community –including annual events such as the Sport Rec and Trade Show, the Home Show, and the Agricultural Expo.
Joel Todd, Soldotna Assistant Parks and Recreation Director…
The Soldotna Field House will also include three lane elevated walking/jogging track
with a fully ADA-accessible elevator to the upper level, allowing for year-round indoor health-wellness motion.
The proposed bond will be set at a maximum amount of $15 million with the possibility of numerous grants and additional funding sources allowing for an even-smaller bond package.
The Soldotna Fieldhouse is on the ballot for October 4, 2022. All City of Soldotna resident’s will get to vote on the bond ordinance.
According to organizers: There is no Soldotna sales tax increase proposed on this bond ordinance and no increase to Soldotna property taxes.
