<body><div>HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - A new recreation facility in Forrest County has just opened. The Forrest County District One Sports Complex officially opened Thursday morning with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Forrest County supervisors and other local leaders attended. The facility included four pickleball courts, a tennis court, a football and soccer field and a softball and baseball park. The sports complex is located on Elks Lake Road, behind the Dixie Community Center. The cost to build the facility was about $500,000. Most of the money used came from federal American Recovery Plan Act funds. “We also have plans in the future for a concession stand, scoreboard, grandstands for spectator seating, and just hopefully, turn it into a truly sports complex,” said Gentry Mordica, District 1 supervisor for Forrest County. For those who want to use the complex at night, there are two numbers to text to have lights turned on. Those numbers are 601-508-7001 or 601-596-7392. The lights will turn off automatically at 10 p.m. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3XlYrK_1FUBWk3G00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3XlYrK_1FUBWk3G00" width="1300" height="241" ><figcaption>WDAM 7 On Your Side composer template image (WDAM7)</figcaption></figure>Want more WDAM 7 news in your inbox?
