McCracken County Sports Tourism, announced a significant naming rights agreement with Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB) for its upcoming sports and recreation venue, Paducah Sports Park. Following committee approval on October 1, the state-of-the-art facility will be known as Paducah Sports Park by CFSB.
The partnership represents a $1 million investment over a 12.5-year term, uniting two organizations dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and economic vitality of Western Kentucky. Headquartered in Benton since 1980, CFSB has grown beyond traditional banking to become a trusted community partner that is investing in education, economic development and more while supporting countless non-profits and initiatives that strengthen communities and drive regional growth in the region.
“We are extremely excited to announce our partnership with CFSB,” said Chastity Heeren, General Manager of Paducah Sports Park by CFSB. “Our shared mission of serving local residents and providing resources to improve communities makes this a meaningful partnership for years to come. The work we accomplish together will have a direct impact on the health and economic vitality of our surrounding communities.”
This collaboration aligns the park’s mission to provide a world-class destination for sports and community engagement with CFSB’s long-standing commitment to community development. The agreement reinforces a shared vision for fostering a healthy, active, and prosperous region for families and visitors.
“Paducah Sports Park by CFSB is more than a venue, it’s a catalyst for family experiences, economic development, and future growth. We’re proud to partner in a project that will not only attract visitors and strengthen our local economy but also create a lasting legacy of opportunity for generations to come,” said Jason Jones, President of CFSB.
Scheduled to open in March 2026, Paducah Sports Park by CFSB is a 130-acre campus featuring modern fields and amenities designed for a variety of sports. The venue, operated by The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC), will offer 10 all-turf fields configurable for baseball, softball, soccer, football, and more, along with three multipurpose shelters, establishing it as a premier destination for athletes, families, and fans. Stuart Nelson Park memorial will also be a part of the complex and an 18-hole disc golf course.
The project’s estimated cost is $65 million, with funding largely coming from the transient room tax. Once complete, the park is projected to generate $155 million in direct economic impact in its first five years.
