Houston Sports Park, a Houston Parks Board facility operated by the Houston Dynamo, is the training ground of the Houston Dynamo and its academy teams located in south Houston near the intersection of SH 288 and Airport Boulevard. The facility is made up of the Methodist Champions Field[1], one artificial turf field, and five additional grass fields to be used by the Houston community for soccer, football, rugby, lacrosse, and more.
The completed portion currently in use is known as Phase One of the construction project that began in 2011. Fundraising for Phase Two is underway which will provide nine more lighted fields, restroom pavilion, misting stations, picnic facilities, trails, playground and additional parking. The estimated cost to complete the complex is $12 million.[2]
