A Master Plan was created for improvements to the Keller Sports Park, however no action was taken.
A new Task Force, consisting of members of the City Council, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Keller Youth Association, Keller Soccer Association, Alliance Rugby Club, Keller Lacrosse Association and the Keller Saddle Club, has been created by City Council to address future improvements to the Keller Sports Park.

Options and alternatives will be presented to the Task Force, and a recommendation for development will be made to the Parks and Recreation Board and City Council.
