River Run Park

The Northport City Council voted unanimously Monday to enter into contracts awarding over $17 million to companies for the last major construction projects at their signature sports complex, River Run Park.

Work is continuing on Northport's signature River Run Park, where city Engineer Tera Tubbs said development is on track for games to hosted there a little more than a year from now.

Construction on a $350 million lagoon resort in Northport could begin as soon as this month and an adventure park there has been indefinitely delayed, mayor John Hinton said Tuesday.

The city of Northport will break ground on River Run Park, its 36-acre baseball and softball complex, later this month on the banks of the Black Warrior River.

Local architects were in Northport Tuesday night to present their final vision for new tournament-ready baseball and softball fields at the newly rebranded Northport Shore property.
