Construction

The sports complex was started in 2012 when the old sports complex in Libertad was unfinished.

Controversy

In November 2015, J.D. Legaspi had expired the mayor's permit, according to the COA. In December 2015, the previous mayor probed for plunder and graft over P253,000,000 sports complex contract. However, in February 2016, the previous mayor ordered to arrest 43 Brgy. Captains for prejury and vexation and the connection of the polysports complex contract. In April 2016, 3 out of 43 Brgy. Captains were arrested by the local police for using drugs, and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. As of now, only the rubberized track oval, football field, and the basketball gymnasium were finished so far.
