Beginning in the spring, every weekend through the middle of October is booked with softball or baseball tournaments. The complex features seven natural turf fields across 35 acres.

With the extensive renovations to and modernization of Gowan's Stadium, it is now an outstanding venue for a wide variety of events.

The field serves as home for the Hutchinson Community College Blue Dragons, Hutchinson High School Salt Hawks, and American Legion Lysle Rishel Post No. 68 Colts and Cubs, as well as the new Hutchinson Monarchs semi-pro baseball team.

The Salt Hawk Activity Center is a multi-use facility. Function space is available for a wide variety of events, including theater, banquets, and meetings.

Originally constructed to host the National Junior College Athletic Association Men's Division I Basketball Tournament that first came to Hutchinson in 1949, the 7,600-seat facility remains home to the tournament every March.
