LITTLE ROCK — The University Arkansas at Little Rock plans to build a new baseball field and expand its sports complex — thanks to a donation from a local family, the university announced today.
Members of the Coleman family, longtime owners and operators of the former Coleman Dairy, agreed to donate nearly eight acres of land in the area of the University Village Apartments and the Coleman Sports & Recreation Complex. A 10-acre property donation by the Coleman family in 2010, combined with land the university already owned, cleared the way for the University to build its current sports complex.
