More Than Just a Basketball Court

The main floor at Sparks Lake Activity Center is designed as a true multi-purpose community venue. While it serves as a basketball court, it can also transform into an event hall for meetings, celebrations, receptions, performances, and community gatherings.

As restoration continues, the goal is to support flexible event layouts, sports programming, venue experiences, and scheduled community use — all connected through the SLACNAC event and payment portal.

Event requests, registrations, calendars, deposits, ticketing, and future payments are handled through SLACNAC.com.
