Sports Partnerships in the Community

The Plano Parks and Recreation Department allocates, prepares, and maintains recreational and competitive game fields used by youth sports organizations and coordinates their schedules to insure they are used to maximum efficiency. Specific questions regarding sports sponsored by these organizations can be answered by calling each organization.

Youth organizations sponsoring and utilizing city fields include:

Practice Fields

There are numerous parks in Plano that have open fields on which to practice. Backstops at elementary schools and in neighborhood parks are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are intended for casual athletic practices. View practice field locations.

Seasonal Drop-In Practice Program
A seasonal drop-in practice program exists to support youth soccer at several athletic-oriented park sites. These “drop-in” areas are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The program is evaluated seasonally for continuation based on the following criteria: parking impact on park use and adjacent neighborhoods, litter, impact on scheduled athletic field use and compliance with park rules and local ordinances. Drop-in areas are closed if athletic fields are closed due to rain or wet conditions. View seasonal drop-in practice field locations and maps.

Athletic Fields

All athletic fields must be reserved in advance through the Parks and Recreation office. Scheduling of these fields is necessary to help avoid conflicts with others wanting to use the fields, assure adequate parking for all activities, make sure restrooms are open and coordinate field and facility maintenance.
