A flurry of construction activity is underway at Starland on Route 53 in Hanover. The aging amusement park and arcade are getting a facelift, and a massive sports and recreation complex is being built where Starland’s driving range once stood.

Scheduled to open by spring 2013, the new indoor athletic facility will be called the University Sports Complex at Starland. It will house two full-size turf fields that can be used for soccer, lacrosse, and flag football, along with eight wooden basketball courts, which can be converted into 16 volleyball courts.
