Massive Indoor Fieldhouse Enters Final Stretch at District Park
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · September 13, 2026
Swapping morning errands for a stroll through the local market stalls is about as ambitious as Sunday needs to get. Overcast skies keep the midday glare soft, making it prime weather for an unhurried start.
The Lead
Crews at The Gardens North County District Park are entering the home stretch on Phase 3, where the city’s massive municipal indoor fieldhouse is taking final shape off 117th Court North. When initial private-partnership plans fell through, the city stepped in to self-fund, construct, and manage the facility directly, keeping its long-term recreation promises on schedule.
Spanning nearly 15 acres within the 82-acre complex, the facility will deliver six full basketball courts, 12 volleyball courts, and 18 indoor pickleball courts designed to ease severe weekend space bottlenecks across local youth leagues and adult clubs. Outdoor additions include shaded picnic pavilions, a new playground, and protected green buffers along neighboring roads. Parks staff are currently prepping programming schedules and court reservation software ahead of next month’s targeted completion.
