The city of Burleson will permanently close the Hidden Creek Softball Complex effective June 1 as part of a long-planned transition to new and improved softball facilities at Burleson Legacy Park.

For many residents, Hidden Creek Softball Complex has been a consistent part of weekly routines, hosting practices, pickup games, and time spent with friends and family. City officials recognize the important role the complex has played in the community and acknowledge that its closure will create short-term inconveniences.

The decision follows years of planning for the future of softball facilities in Burleson and represents the next step in delivering an upgraded experience for players and families. The new facilities at Burleson Legacy Park are designed to provide enhanced playability, more reliable field conditions, and long-term access to meet the needs of the city’s growing population.

To support residents during the transition, the city will provide information on alternative practice locations that remain available for use, along with guidance on how to access those spaces.

The city is committed to maintaining transparent communication throughout the process, including updates on closure, construction progress, and the eventual opening of the new facilities.
