A new 122-acre youth sports complex is under construction in far north Fort Worth. The $75 million Play It Forward sports center is slated to open along TX-114 in Roanoke.
Former Texas Rangers pitcher (and Irving High School graduate) Blake Beavan teamed up with entrepreneur Dave Dickson as the drivers behind the project, which is designed to create opportunities for future athletes.
The complex is set to include:
- Five full-sized baseball fields with lighting and turf
- Three soccer fields that also accommodate 7-on-7 football, rugby, and lacrosse
- An athletic training facility
- A 150-200-key hotel with a conference space
- High-end restaurants and mixed-use retail
- Parks and trails
- A medical center for athletes and guests
- 1,000+ parking spaces
The sports fields are expected to open in late 2025, with the mixed-use community areas following in 2026.
