Blacksburg Athletic Site Improvements: Budget Exercise and Survey

Blacksburg’s athletic facilities play an essential role in supporting youth sports, school teams, adult leagues, and community recreation. In recent community feedback, residents expressed a strong desire for improved fields, better lighting, upgraded amenities, and expanded opportunities for year‑round play. To address these needs, the Town of Blacksburg is evaluating potential improvements at two key locations: Winfrey Fields (Winfrey/Kipps) and Old Blacksburg High School (OBHS), which receive the highest annual use and support the widest range of athletic activities. These upgrades are being considered as part of the Town’s 2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Because funding is limited, we need your help identifying which projects should be prioritized.

Provide your input: To capture a complete picture of community needs, this project includes two engagement exercises:

A budget exercise that features an interactive tool that can be used to review and prioritize proposed projects
A Facility Use and General Priorities survey.
These engagement exercises will be available until Friday, October 9, 2026.
