The Bend NKY, a new family-friendly sports and entertainment complex, is officially open in Hebron.
The roughly 5.3-acre site at 1930 Conrad Lane features seven indoor pickleball courts, two indoor turf soccer fields, gathering areas and private event spaces, as well as a bar, outdoor patio, mezzanine viewing area and rotating food trucks, according to a press release.
An outdoor turf soccer field is expected to open later this year, while The Backyard at The Bend, an outdoor beer garden, is slated to open by mid-2027.
According to the release, The Bend NKY co-founder Brad Trauth had owned the Conrad Lane property for about eight years when the development of a multi-use bike path through the property inspired the idea for the facility.
“We wanted
to build more than courts and fields. Our vision was to create an active lifestyle destination where people could come together, stay active and build meaningful connections," Trauth said in a statement. "The Bend is about bringing people together through sports, recreation and community, and we’re excited to see that vision come to life."
The Bend's indoor spaces can also be rented for private events, including birthday celebrations, team gatherings and corporate outings.
