Seton High School broke ground on a $16 million all-girls sports complex in Delhi Township that is set to open for the 2026 fall sports season.

The project arrives as several other Cincinnati-area organizations finish or plan similar upgrades, giving clubs more room to run programs that draw families and volunteers from surrounding neighborhoods.

High school projects add dedicated fields and courts

Seton’s new complex will serve only girls’ teams and will sit inside Delhi Township. Nearby, Sycamore High School opened Dan Henke Field, a synthetic-turf venue that already hosted varsity games during the 2026 Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase. Walnut Hills High School recorded 99 students earning Eastern Cincinnati Conference All-Academic honors last season, showing how facilities and academics can advance together.

These additions occur inside the three main high-school conferences that cover Greater Cincinnati: the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference, the Eastern Cincinnati Conference, and the Miami Valley Conference.

Professional teams update practice sites and stadiums

The Cincinnati Cyclones bought the $6.2 million Sports Plus facility in Evendale and will rebrand it as the Queen City Sportsplex for team use. FC Cincinnati applied for $136.3 million in state unclaimed funds to expand TQL Stadium and add premium seating. The University of Cincinnati opened its $134 million Sheakley Indoor Practice Facility and Athletics Performance Center in June 2025, while the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason finished a $260 million overhaul that same year.

Each of these moves supplies year-round training space and event capacity that local clubs can use to run clinics, camps, and community nights without relying solely on public parks.

Residents can check schedules at the Queen City Sportsplex once it opens or visit the updated Lindner Family Tennis Center courts in Mason for public programs already listed on venue calendars.
