WilCo breaks ground on Southwest Williamson County Regional Park upgrades

The county broke ground May 28 on improvements to Southwest Williamson County Regional Park in Leander, including artificial turf upgrades for four fields through a sponsorship with Lonestar Soccer Club.

About the project: The county will replace four fields with FIFA-certified synthetic turf to help reduce impacts from drought and wear, and allow for longer playing time, according to previous Community Impact reporting. Using artificial turf will also eliminate the maintenance costs of natural grass.

Lonestar Soccer Club will fund $6.5 million, and the county will pay the remaining cost, as well as fund the replacement of the eight-lane running track around Field 6, according to a county news release.

Learn more: Because Lonestar Soccer Club is sponsoring the project, the club will receive priority scheduling, discounted usage rates and naming rights for the four fields, as well as take ownership of the maintenance and replacement of turf.
