The Legacy Soccer Park will be located at 520 Piney Ridge Road in Forest City and will feature a championship-grade artificial turf soccer field, five natural turf fields, two mini urban soccer pitches, and numerous other associated amenities and support facilities that will transform the undeveloped 57-acre site into an extraordinary community asset.
Legacy Soccer Park will become the home of the Rutherford County Soccer Association (RCSA) and its wide range of local youth soccer programs, which numbers more than 600 participants. The new complex will positively help bolster recreation in the local community and attract other top-tier teams and contestants from across the region. The park’s design meets functional needs while creating a legacy-worthy space, establishing a new standard for youth sports in the region.
This first-rate facility will be capable of hosting large tournaments and has the potential to bring thousands of additional visitors to the area.
Sports tourism is a rapidly growing sector of the tourism industry and will provide tremendous economic benefits to the local economy from the families who travel to the area to compete, stay in lodging accommodations, and eat in local restaurants.
RHI Legacy Foundation, the major funder, has been instrumental in moving this project forward.
