Phase I | Sandhill Fields

The project was conceived in 2016 by an informal group of people from Sussex County who had a common desire to create an athletic center in Sussex County which will open to the public for recreation for the young and the "not so young". Unlike Kent and New Castle Counties, Sussex County lacks a recreation center of this scale despite the fact there is increasing demand from a rapidly growing population of both young families and recent retirees. The facility is located towards the middle of the county so youth sports clubs and the citizens throughout the county would have a convenient place to exercise, socialize, practice, hold games and host tournaments with clubs from the mid-Atlantic region. 

​Sandhill Fields is privately owned with public access for anyone wishing to use it many facilities or just enjoy the open space for a leisurely walk. The fields will be open to the general public during the daylight hours with parking and access free of charge. In addition to eight Bermuda grass fields, Sandhill Fields offers plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and open space. 

Phase II | Sandhill Fieldhouse

2022-2023 brings the next phase of our complex.  The 30,000 sq. ft. Sandhill Fieldhouse will be comprised of two main sections; turf and sport court. The turf field will be able to accommodate multiple sports from soccer to lacrosse. The sport court area will play host to community events, pickleball, field hockey, and a variety of other sports. 

Our team is hoping to begin construction in 2022 with a 2023 completion date.
