As part of the Incorporation Legislative Bill, the Town acquired numerous buildings and parcels of land. Soldiers Memorial Sports Arena was one of the buildings. Built in 1942 as part of Camp Butner’s recreational facilities, the arena consists of three full-size basketball courts, two scoreboards, restrooms, and several adjoining meeting rooms. It has a unique structural design, setting it apart from other gymnasiums. The complex truss roof system is designed to prevent collapse from a bomb dropped from a plane.
