Multipurpose Turf Field at Maple Lake Park
Spring of 2022 we will be installing a high quality and accessible multi use turf field at Maple Lake Park. We have entered a partnership with the Mansfield City Parks Department to make this possible. It will serve multiple purposes, one of which, is to offer sport training with a focus on soccer for underprivileged youth. Programming will be ran by former professional soccer players and certified youth coaches. There will no longer be a need to travel for hours for something you can get right here in Mansfield. This will connect people, promote health and wellbeing, facilitate positive interactions and so much more with a freely accessible public space. Our goal is to pour into our youth and grow our local economy.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to have community buy in. This project cost roughly $190,000. The company we are working with is 7 to 8 months out on building. Ideally we need to secure funding by September 30th to hit our completion deadline, Spring of 22’. Even a donation of a few dollars from every parent will to a long way.
Nearly all of the area’s youth soccer opportunities in community leagues and on high school or club teams—involve a fee, usually ranging between $100 and $3,000 per year. These costs, along with the location of the fields where soccer is played in the area and often more than 15 to 20 miles away mean the sport is often not accessible to the kids most in need of a safe outdoor environment. HELP US CHANGE THAT.

The Plan
- 60'x100’ professional turf playing surface
- Perimeter wall board
- Post and netting on goals
- LED light fixtures
Detailed documentation of the process leading up to completion will be shared with all who choose to donate. Our method of operation is public use 1/3 of the time & programming/game play 2/3 of the time. Soccer is growing in our community. Over 3,000 youth are involved in soccer in the area. The goal of this isn’t to take away from what’s already happening, but to add to it. We see this as an opportunity for many of our young people. This is big for our community and the start to something much greater. Thank you in advance!
