June 19, 2026 (Ogden, Iowa) – The City of Ogden has received a $274,000 Community Attraction & Tourism award to support the construction of Phase I of the Ogden Recreation Complex.
Funding will support the first phase of a new park development featuring two Little League baseball fields complete with dugouts, lighting, scoreboards, and spectator amenities. The project also includes accessible pathways, a new playground, parking improvements, a community garden, and stormwater infrastructure designed to enhance the overall park experience.
“We extend our congratulations to the City of Ogden. They have worked tirelessly to move this project forward for their community and this award from the State of Iowa is the last piece of funding needed to implement Phase I of this exciting project,” said Brenda Dryer, Executive Director for the Boone County Economic Growth Corporation. “We look forward to celebrating with Ogden as they break ground on this project later this Summer.”
As the first phase of a larger community recreation project, this development lays the groundwork for future additions including a third Little League baseball field, paved walking trails, pickleball courts, soccer fields, and new concession and restroom facilities.
