Gov. Justice delivers $1 million Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization grant to Mylan Park

The AMLER program aims to repurpose abandoned mine lands for sustainable economic development across West Virginia, with Mylan Park serving as a prime example of successful revitalization.

About Mylan Park
Over the past 20 years, Mylan Park has grown from four baseball and softball fields into full-service sports, recreation, wellness, and events complex spanning 400 beautiful acres. Mylan Park is also proud to be home to a variety of social, training, and educational organizations operating within the park footprint and serving the greater Morgantown community daily through their non-profit and service-oriented missions.

Today, Mylan Park is recognized as one of West Virginia's most dynamic venues for users and events of all walks. Owned and operated by the non-profit 501c3 Mylan Park Foundation, Mylan Park now offers 14 indoor and outdoor facilities comprising over 60 acres of athletic field space and more than 180,000 sq. ft. of indoor sport, recreation, and event venues. Each unique component of the park ensures that there is something for everyone and that Mylan Park is truly a place the entire community can enjoy.

In recent years, the state has awarded the Mylan Park Foundation a $3.75 million grant from the AMLER program and a $3.5 million grant from the West Virginia Water Development Authority. The AMLER grant is supporting the development of Mylan Park's new RV campground, and the Water Development Authority's funds have been used to returf the park's ballfields, upgrade the ballfield facility, and install pickleball courts.
