Development History

Originally developed in phases, the park's first stage was completed in 2009, which included the initial sports fields, paths, and parking areas. As of 2025, the park is undergoing significant expansion and improvements to enhance its offerings to the community.

The park's latest development phase, scheduled for completion in summer 2025, will add new sports fields, improve existing facilities, and introduce a variety of amenities to cater to diverse recreational interests. This expansion aims to fulfill a vision for the sports park that has been in development for over two decades.

Current Status
