The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas announced it is building a multi-use sports and recreational facility to be named the “Ronald Reagan Sports Complex” on a 10 acre tract of real property located on its tribal reservation in southern Maverick County. A groundbreaking ceremony previously scheduled for September 4, 2025 was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, but will be rescheduled in the immediate future, Neil Schneuker of K-Harvey Brand Partners said.
The new Ronald Reagan Sports Complex will have a regulation size football field, athletic track field, baseball field, softball field, basketball court, tennis court, pickleball court, bleachers, parking, walking trail, and so much more. The sports complex will be funded and operated by the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas. The complex will be accessible to tribal and non-tribal members.
The general contractor selected to build the sports complex is Hellas, a company specializing in sports facility construction. Construction has begun with site preparation and earth removal processes.
The new sports facility will offer educational and athletic training programs for Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas members and the public, including after-school programming.
The project is expected to cost seven figures and will expand access to recreational and athletic facilities in southern Maverick County, closer to tribal members. The project is anticipated to improve health outcomes in Maverick County, which ranks among the highest in Texas for diabetes rates and the lowest for recreational activity.
Maverick County ranks eighth in Texas with the highest rate of diabetes in 2025 and is the second-lowest for adult recreational activity in 2024.
The new recreational and sports complex is expected to be completed in 2026 and is located at 25 Standing Rock Lane, Eagle Pass, Texas 78852.
The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas is one of three federally-recognized Tribes of Kickapoo people in the United States and one of three federally-recognized tribes in Texas. The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas has a current population of 1,134 enrolled members and was officially recognized by the Texas Indian Commission in 1977 with a reservation located adjacent to the Rio Grande River on the United States-Mexico border in southern Maverick County.
