The Family Sports Park is a 200-acre regional destination that includes 20 lighted sports fields for soccer, baseball and softball, restrooms, concessions and multipurpose pavilions. This facility serves as both a tournament quality sports facility and a community park. The community park features a site for a future community center, a destination spray ground with a natural stream feature, a 10-acre lake, playgrounds, picnic pavilions, open space, and a two mile multiuse trail encircling the site.
​
Planning Design Studio staff created the overall site master plan, then designed and oversaw the implementation of the 6,000 square foot spray ground, two playground areas, an open pavilion, a simulated rocky stream with waterfalls, pebble rock surfacing, and rock ledge for sitting and climbing. This unique project was featured in the publication Landscape Architect & Specifier News.
​
In a later project phase, PDS created the concept design and programming for the community center, called the RecPlex, which includes indoor and outdoor aquatic centers, a gymnasium and fitness center, and a fine arts studio.
