Built for More Than Sports

Highlands Sports Complex is known as the Ohio Valley’s destination for athletics. However, there is much more happening inside these walls than just sports. Highlands is built to host a wide range of events, gatherings, and celebrations, making it a true community hub.

Hosting Expos and Large Conventions

When it comes to large events, space matters. Highlands offers expansive, adaptable areas perfect for expos, trade shows, and conventions. Event organizers have access to the indoor turf, multiple hardwood courts, and meeting rooms.

Our indoor turf space can transform into rows of booths, stages, and demonstration areas. Courts can be covered and set for vendor displays or guest seating. The open layout allows flexible event planning for industries like education, wellness, technology, and retail.

We have hosted everything from youth expos to professional development workshops. Highlands offers easy access from I-70 and ample free parking, making it a convenient choice for large crowds.

Families and schools can reserve courts, turf spaces, or party rooms to host graduation parties. Highlands offers setup assistance, catering options, and plenty of parking for guests.

Hosting at Highlands ensures that weather never ruins the celebration. The spacious layout allows for games, food, and memorable photos all under one roof.
