The City of League City is moving forward with a $44 million expansion of the 106-acre Pat Hallisey Park, which will add a variety of new sports fields and courts, including a five-field girls softball complex, a four-field Pony-Colt baseball complex, two full-size soccer fields, 12 pickleball courts, and two tennis courts. The project is expected to begin construction in July 2026 and be completed by April 2028.
Why it matters
The new sports complex is expected to significantly expand League City's capacity to host youth and amateur athletic tournaments, which could bring more weekend visitors and revenue to nearby hotels and restaurants. The project was renamed after former mayor and parks director Pat Hallisey to honor his decades of work on local recreation.
The details
The 106-acre site will feature a variety of new sports facilities, including a five-field girls softball complex, a four-field Pony-Colt baseball complex, two full-size soccer fields, a nine-hole disc golf course, a 5K trail, 12 pickleball courts, and two tennis courts. The complex will also include two playgrounds, lighted parking, a maintenance facility, concession stands, and restrooms. Detention ponds will be built into the layout to handle stormwater, and a memorial area will recognize local victims of the "Texas Killing Fields."
