Houston Sports Park is an elite, multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility for a global community. Houston Sports Park (HSP) boasts seven professional grade playing fields made available for the youth and adult sporting community. Since 2011, HSP has been called home to sporting groups representing soccer, football, ultimate frisbee, field hockey, lacrosse, Gaelic football, Australian football, and rugby.

On behalf of the City of Houston, the Houston Dynamo manage the day-to-day operations by accommodating practices, league play, special events, camps and tournaments available to the entire Houston community and at an ideal location free from traffic or industrial distractions.

Houston Sports Park is the training ground of the Houston Dynamo, Houston Dash and its academy teams located in south Houston near the intersection of SH 288 and Airport Boulevard. The facility is made up of the Methodist Champions Field, one artificial turf field, and five additional grass fields.

The campus building is a single-story building which houses Athlete Training + Health (18,505 sq. feet) along with a 7,000 sq. foot tenant suite for the Methodist Center for Sports Medicine (home to the physicians for the Houston Dynamo, Texans, Astros, Rodeo and Ballet). The Methodist Center for Sports Medicine features a HydroWorx 1200 advanced underwater treadmill pool. Additionally, there is 5,125 square foot permanent training center for the Houston Dynamo.

The completed portion currently in use is known as Phase One of the construction project that began in 2011. Fundraising for Phase Two is underway which will provide seven more lighted fields, restroom pavilion, misting stations, picnic facilities, trails, playground and additional parking. The estimated cost to complete the complex is $12 million.

On February 7, 2018, the City of Houston agreed to fund $3.2 million of the $5.25 million needed to build Aveva Stadium at Houston Sports Park for the Houston SaberCats of Major League Rugby. The stadium is expected to be completed in January 2019 and will seat 3,500 spectators.
