Surprise opens The Fields at Countryside
Park helps relieve Recreation Department's capacity problems
Posted
With sports programs needing more space to play, the addition of The Fields at Countryside couldn’t have come soon enough.”
Skip Hall | Surprise mayor
By city of Surprise
The city of Surprise held a ribbon cutting Jan. 20 to mark the opening of The Fields at Countryside.
The new park is located north of Countryside Recreation Center and Elementary School at the southwest corner of Greenway Road and Parkview Place.
The park’s lighted youth multipurpose fields are ready for use by participants in the city’s youth sports programming. Eventually, these grass fields will be available by reservation when city programs aren’t running.
The park also has paved parking, restrooms and a playground.
Flag football players will be the first to run up and down the new fields. Then, the city’s first ever spring soccer season will kick off, in addition to its expanding regular fall season.
“With sports programs needing more space to play, the addition of The Fields at Countryside couldn’t have come soon enough,” Mayor Skip Hall said. “It’s an exciting time for our community, as City Council and our Parks and Recreation team is focusing on creating more ways for residents to play.”
The city thanked Willmeng Construction and Kimley Horn Planning and Design for the execution of this project, which was completed in less than eight months.
