Paducah transfers two acres to Paducah Independent Schools for new softball field

Paducah Tilghman High School is now closer to building a new softball stadium. 

The Paducah Board of Commissioners approved a Municipal Order authorizing the transfer of two acres of city-owned property located at 2400 Brooks Stadium Drive to the Paducah Independent School District. 

The school district is planning to use the property to construct a softball field and stadium for use by the district’s middle and high school students. The new field will be at a higher elevation and out of the floodplain as compared to the current field used by the district. 

Paducah Public Schools is funding the construction of the new field and partnering with the Brooks Stadium Commission for the shared use of the parking lot. As part of the terms of the donation agreement for this property, the Paducah School District will construct the ball field and demolish the blighted buildings located on the school’s property at 700 Highland Boulevard in the Forest Hills Neighborhood no later than May 1, 2026.
