Apollo Beach complex can host a range of sports, from soccer to football to cricket

Hillsborough County formally opened the eagerly anticipated SouthShore Sportsplex in September, giving kid and adult sports leagues four state-of-the-art multipurpose fields on which to play.

The SouthShore Sportsplex features four synthetic-turf athletic fields, making it home to one of the largest contiguous synthetic turf fields in the nation and the go-to place for sports fans who love high-quality sports fields. The fields support a variety of sports and recreational activities, including soccer, football, lacrosse, kickball, and cricket.

In addition to the fields, the first phase of construction features a playground, pavilions, LED lighting, a concession building with restrooms, offices, meeting space, and parking for more than 500 vehicles. The park property is about 85 acres, with the $11 million first phase covering roughly half the site. Phase II is to include four synthetic-turf baseball fields and a dog park.

Games began immediately after the 9 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 9 at the sports complex, 6110 Waterset Blvd., Apollo Beach, FL 33572.
