Constructed in 2024 within the premises of the Government Senior Secondary School (GSSS) in Nathupur, the facility was intended to provide affordable sports amenities to the local community. However, it has never been operational. During a recent inspection, the facility was found unsecured and in disrepair, with dust and debris scattered throughout. Residents reported that equipment in the indoor cricket area is abandoned and unusable, and many fixtures have been stolen due to the lack of security.
