Odyssey Sports Atlanta wants to construct the expansive facility on an industrial site located between 450 and 464 Bishop Street. The land rests behind the Atlantic Station mixed-use development and the complex would target training rising elite athletes.
The ‘sportsplex’ would include a multi-sport indoor recreational facility that plans call for to house an Olympic-size pool and diving amenities; 10 basketball courts; 11 tennis courts; two lacrosse/soccer fields; and a hockey rink.
