The city of Pearland opened the first phase of the 65-acre Sports Complex at Shadow Creek Ranch in early April at 13050 Shadow Creek Parkway, Pearland. The park was expected to be complete in June 2016 but faced some delays. The $10.1 million project was approved by voters in the 2007 bond election, and construction began in August of 2014. The park includes lighted softball and baseball fields, a turf field, volleyball courts, a playground, paved walking paths, covered pavilion, concessions and an amphitheater. A second phase is slated for construction in 2021 or 2022 contingent on a future bond election and will include two cricket fields and a sports field for special needs athletes and 250 additional parking spaces.
