Lee’s Summit is quickly establishing itself as a hub for sports enthusiasts, families, and athletes of all ages, thanks to three ambitious and world-class sports complexes that are transforming the region. Each development offers a unique vision, from youth-focused training to multi-sport entertainment, creating opportunities for recreation, competition, and community engagement.
At the forefront is View High Sports & Entertainment, a $48 million project approved by the Lee’s Summit City Council and developed by 3D Builders KC. Located along the growing View High corridor at 3350 NW Ashurst Drive, this 17-acre facility is set to become one of the largest indoor youth sports training and tournament venues in Missouri. Encompassing 180,000 square feet of indoor space, it will feature a FIFA regulation-size soccer field, eight basketball courts, twelve volleyball courts, hitting and pitching tunnels, and a 7,500-square-foot athletic training center. Families and athletes will also enjoy a full-service restaurant, a family entertainment center with arcade games, golf simulators, and an indoor playground, along with medical offices and retail space. Outside, another soccer field and five pickleball courts will expand the recreational opportunities. Managing Partner Scott Wheatley emphasized that the project is designed to reshape youth sports experiences while fostering community wellness and engagement across the Kansas City metro. Groundbreaking is anticipated in fall 2025, with completion projected for fall 2026.
Complementing this large-scale youth facility is TM Fieldhouse, a 52,000-square-foot premier sports complex located at 1550 SE Hamblen Road. Already open to the public, TM Fieldhouse offers versatile spaces designed to meet the needs of athletes at every skill level. Basketball, volleyball, and pickleball courts share the space with full infield and tunnel areas for baseball and softball, while turf training zones allow athletes to hone their skills year-round. The facility also includes the 19th Hole golf simulator and TM Fit Café, a health-focused eatery designed to fuel athletes and families. TM Fieldhouse has become a community hub where recreational and competitive sports come together in a welcoming environment.
For those seeking a multi-sport experience combined with lifestyle amenities, Paragon Star offers an unmatched vision. Situated on 190 acres at 1401 NW River Road, this $250 million mixed-use development combines luxury apartments, hotel lodging, office space, and a 20-acre commercial district with dining, retail, and entertainment options. The centerpiece is its multi-sport complex, featuring ten FIFA Quality-certified fields, an achievement that places Paragon Star among the elite sports facilities in the United States. Nestled along the Little Blue River and bordered by the Rock Island Trail, the complex integrates natural landscapes with top-tier athletic facilities, offering both professional-level training and immersive recreational experiences. Its open-air plazas, entertainment districts, and thoughtfully designed communal spaces demonstrate a philosophy that sports can bring people together in ways that extend far beyond the field.
Together, View High Sports & Entertainment, TM Fieldhouse, and Paragon Star represent the evolution of Lee’s Summit into a sports and lifestyle destination. Each complex addresses a different aspect of athletic development and community engagement, from large-scale youth tournaments and indoor training facilities to multi-sport entertainment and mixed-use environments. With these developments, Lee’s Summit is poised not only to elevate the local sports scene but also to attract athletes, families, and visitors from across Missouri and the Midwest, creating a vibrant hub for recreation, competition, and community life.
