5 columbushosp.org Excitement is building as the Columbus Fieldhouse continues to take shape. The structure, located north of the Columbus Wellness Center near 31st Street and 41st Avenue in Columbus, will look dramatically different in just a few short months. The multimillion-dollar project will include a 101,500-square-foot field turf area; batting cages; mini putting greens; and courts for tennis, pickleball, basketball and volleyball. The plans for the fieldhouse also include racquetball, a cycle studio and spaces for personalized fitness, circuit training and cardio. Meeting needs “We want to make sure this community has the best health care facilities we can provide, and that we’re meeting the needs of our community from all aspects,” said Mike Hansen, president and CEO of Columbus Community Hospital. The brand-new Columbus Fieldhouse will house one of the longest suspended tracks in the country — nearly a quarter of a mile long with an overhead view of the field below. The indoor track will give athletes the ability to train in optimal conditions, even in the winter. “Our goal is to improve the health of the communities we serve,” said Hansen. “The Columbus Fieldhouse Sports Complex will help enhance the work we’re currently doing at the Wellness Center by getting more people physically active and engaged in competitive sports.” The facility will have athletic trainers and sports enhancement experts dedicated to providing sports performance training for various activities. It will include sports simulators for baseball and golf and have options for people of all ages, including a youth activity center with a trampoline zone and interactive playground. The fieldhouse will also feature an outdoor courtyard with a stage for public events. In conjunction with the Columbus Fieldhouse project, community members will also see changes to the current YMCA, Rehab Services at the Wellness Center and Wiggles & Giggles Therapy for Kids™ programs. Additionally, Premier Physical Therapy will relocate from 3100 23rd St. to the Columbus Fieldhouse. Crews expect to complete the project at the end of 2023, and the facility should open in 2024.
