Parks and recreation leaders across the country are trying to figure out how to provide a wider variety of programming options to satisfy as many sectors of a community as possible. That means cities must maximize uses at increasingly constrained and overburdened facilities, or build new parks designed to accommodate multiple uses. In the case of Arlington Heights Sports Park--a $13.7-million sports and community-lifestyle amenity located in Riverside, Calif.--the challenge of incorporating the maximum number of athletic fields in a flexible, multiuse format was met head on.
The 35-acre park delivers an innovative mix of multiuse fields that can accommodate football, soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse and rugby. They include:
- Eight lighted multipurpose soccer/football fields
