Is Corvallis In Line For The Next Ballers & Brews?
Corvallis Sports Park closes... the new owner?
We did our best (worst) tabloid-style investigation here.
Sadly, after almost 30 years of indoor soccer, birthday parties, youth leagues, and community events, Corvallis Sports Park announced this week that it will officially close in June. A lot of special memories and moments were made there, by and for community members over the past few decades.
A sad announcement for the community.
The announcement was sent directly through an email from ownership and staff. According to the email, the facility’s ownership group accepted an offer on the building, bringing an end to the indoor sports facility.
“CSP started 30 years ago as a vision between two friends,” the email stated. “The park was designed and built under the leadership of Blake Leamy and Jeff Merten along with the investment support of five investors who loved soccer.”
Ownership described the decision to sell as difficult, acknowledging that the building became a “second home” for many players, families, coaches, and staff over the years. The email also confirmed what comes next for the facility:
“Moving forward, the new owners are remodeling the building for indoor pickle ball.” The facility’s final day open is scheduled for June 7.
The New Ownership Group
While the email confirms the building has been sold, we don’t believe the identity of the new ownership group has yet been publicly announced. The best we could do is some digging, and make some obvious connections… then draw some more Inquirer-style connections.
An Oregon LLC called TWIN OAKS GROUP, LLC was formed on February 20, 2026. State business records list the company’s registered address as: 175 SW Twin Oaks Circle, Corvallis, Oregon… the exact address of Corvallis Sports Park (the filing also lists a mailing address of: 1415 NE Bear Creek Rd, Bend, Oregon).
The timing is notable. At this point, no public filing directly confirms Twin Oaks Group, LLC as the buyer. However, the timing of the filing… and the matching address… do connect some obvious dots.
We can stretch this a lot further. But this is a “conspiracy theory” style stretch at best.
While the registered address for Twin Oaks is the Corvallis Sports Park current address… the mailing address for Twin Oaks Group, LLC is in Bend, Oregon. The address appears online in connection with several holding and investment-style LLCs.
A dedicated pickleball tap house called Ballers & Brews opened in September 2025… in Bend, Oregon. The owner of that facility is Leslie Koegler, who is the CEO of KDE Direct LLC… she attended college at… you guessed it… Oregon State University.
Is Corvallis in line for the next Ballers & Brews? It’s a long shot, but there are some interesting parallels there, right? The Bend mailing address, the pickleball mention in the email, the Oregon State University connection, and let’s not forget… The Corvallis Sports Club already has the pub infrastructure built in… The Upper Deck.
We’ll see.
