Crozet Sports INDOOR FACILITY PROJECT
Crozet Sports is seeking to build an athletic and academic facility to serve the growing athletic, academic, and health needs of the Western Albemarle community. We have created this project landing page to serve as a resource for community residents to learn more about the proposed development of the indoor facility in Crozet. This Information Web Site provides a summary of the proposed development with supporting documents including the project background, building conceptual floor plan, 3D renderings, planned programs and services, information on the county approval process, and the project traffic generation report. For your convenience we will also continue to provide all submitted information from the ZMA application submitted to Albemarle County so you have one source to keep up to date.
We encourage the community to refer back to this page on a regular basis. We will continue to update information on this page as we move forward with this project. Our goal is to keep you accurately informed and address any concerns that may arise throughout the approval and development process. We look forward to continuing to serve the community!
Frequently Asked Questions
Where will the facility be located?
The proposed development is proposed for Block 19 of Old Trail Village, as it is identified in the Old Trail Code of Development. Block 19 is a mostly wooded parcel, approximately 9.76 acres, adjacent to Henley Middle School and Brownsville Elementary School to the East and Western Albemarle High School to the South. The parcel is rectangular in shape and extends deep into the Old Trail Community.
What is the proposed size of the indoor athletic and academics facility?
What are the programs being offered?

What is the proposed visibility of the indoor facility?
Although the building is large, its careful siting within the block will enable it to maintain a sense of human scale. The preservation of the 150-foot wooded buffer adjacent to Route 250 will substantially screen the building from Route 250. Similarly, the retention of a vegetated buffer adjacent to Henley Middle School, and significant vegetation along Old Trail Drive will further help to screen the building. At just a two-story building, the relatively low building height will help balance out its larger footprint.
What are the features of the proposed facility
A building with a total square footage of approximately 85,000 square feet, consisting of a first floor with approximately 59,000 square feet, and a second floor containing approximately 26,000 square feet.

We send our kids to lots of different camps in the summers since we moved to the area. Last year we tried Crozet Sports and our kids say next year it’s only one of two camps they want to do. (The other -Crozet Arts- is also super local, which I love!) Thanks for providing this home-grown and enjoyable option!
We are grateful to Crozet Sports for the extraordinary camp days! Our boys are always excited about the chance to join the games, activities, and sports challenges offered during camp and we are very thankful for the fun and supportive space, especially during school and holiday breaks.
