Twelve-Court Indoor Fieldhouse Advances at District Park
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · September 30, 2026
Passing morning showers are sweeping across the turnpike early, but you will find plenty of reasons to step out once the clouds part.
The Lead
Plans for a municipal indoor fieldhouse at Gardens North County District Park are shifting into high gear as the city takes direct oversight of the project along Central Boulevard. After ending multi-year negotiations with private developers over funding structures, municipal leadership opted to finance and construct the facility in-house to satisfy a long-standing interlocal agreement with Palm Beach County.
The proposed complex will feature twelve indoor courts, including six dedicated hardwood basketball surfaces that convert for youth volleyball, camps, and community leagues. For local athletic programs that have long juggled crowded school gymnasiums and outdoor weather cancellations, the complex secures dedicated indoor programming. Site clearing on the park's western 14-acre parcel wrapped up this month, clearing the way for structural engineering reviews and final construction bidding early next year.
