The Rock's Grand Opening is This Weekend
Opening weekend events at The Rock include an outdoor movie, a concert, a home run derby and plenty of baseball games.
Baseball teams have been playing for weeks at the new The Rock Sports Complex, which sits in Franklin and Greenale at 7900 W. Crystal Ridge Drive.
But this weekend, the action really begins as the complex celebrates its grand opening Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Guests are invited to try out the Midwest’s only downhill bike park, watch an outdoor movie Friday night, take in numerous baseball games and the complex’s first ever home run derby and enjoy a band Saturday evening.
